40-2806. Same; failure to file return or pay tax; interest and penalties; waiver or reduction. (a) If any company, without intent to evade the tax imposed by this act, shall fail to file a return or pay the tax, if one is due, at the time required by or under the provisions of this act, but shall voluntarily file a correct return of income or pay the tax due within sixty (60) days thereafter, there shall be added to the tax an additional amount equal to ten percent of the unpaid balance of tax due plus interest at the rate prescribed by K.S.A. 79-2968(a) for each month or fraction of a month from the date the tax was due until paid. No additional penalty and interest shall be imposed if the total amount thereof does not exceed one dollar ($1).
(b) If any company fails voluntarily to file a return of income, if one is due, within sixty (60) days after the time required by or under the provisions of this act, there shall be added to the tax an additional amount equal to twenty-five percent of the unpaid balance of tax due, plus interest at the rate prescribed by K.S.A. 79-2968(a) for each month or fraction of a month from the date the tax was due until paid except that no additional penalty and interest shall be imposed if the total amount thereof does not exceed one dollar ($1).
(c) If any company which has failed to file a return or has filed an incorrect or insufficient return, and after notice from the commissioner refuses or neglects within twenty (20) days to file a proper return, or files a fraudulent return, the commissioner shall determine the income of such taxpayer according to the best information available and assess the tax together with a penalty of fifty percent of the unpaid balance of tax due plus interest at the rate prescribed by K.S.A. 79-2968(a) for each month from the date the tax was originally due to the date of payment.
(d) Whenever, in the judgment of the commissioner, the failure of the taxpayer to comply with provisions of subsections (a), (b) and (c) of this section, was due to reasonable causes, the commissioner may, in the commissioner's discretion, waive or reduce any of the penalties upon making a record of its reasons therefor.
