Section 45-35-244.02 - Provisions of States Sales Tax Statutes Applicable.

(a) Unless otherwise provided for herein or where the context herein clearly indicated a different interpretation, the taxes levied in Section 45-35-244.01 shall be subject to all definitions, exceptions, exemptions, proceedings, requirements, rules, regulations, provisions, discounts, penalties, fines, punishments, and deductions that are applicable to the taxes levied by the state sales tax statutes, except where inapplicable or where herein otherwise provided, including all provisions of the state sales tax statutes for enforcement and collection of taxes.
(b) Sales taxes levied in Section 45-35-244.01 shall be due and payable in monthly installments on or before the 20th day of the month next succeeding the month in which the tax accrues. All taxes levied in this subpart shall be paid to and collected by the Houston County Commission, or its designee, at the same time as state sales tax is due to be paid to the State Department of Revenue. On or prior to the due dates of the tax herein levied, each person subject to the tax shall file with the Houston County Commission, or its designee, a report or return in the form prescribed by the Houston County Commission, or its designee, setting forth, with respect to all sales and business transactions that are required to be used as a measure of the tax levied, a correct statement of the gross proceeds of all the sales and the gross receipts of all business transactions. The reports shall also include such other items of information pertinent to the tax and the amount of the tax as the Houston County Commission, or its designee, may require. Any person subject to the tax levied may defer reporting credit sales until after their collection, and in the event the person defers reporting them, the person shall thereafter include in each monthly report all credit collections made during the month preceding, and shall pay the tax due thereon at the time of filing the report.
