Every employer required to deduct and withhold tax under KRS 141.310 and
141.315 shall, for the quarterly period beginning on the first day of January of
each year, and for each quarterly period thereafter, on or before the last day of
the month following the close of each quarterly period make a return and report
to the department the tax required to be withheld under KRS 141.310 and
141.315, unless the employer is permitted or required to report monthly or
annually. Such employer shall, on or before the last day of the month following
the close of each quarterly period, pay over to the department the tax required
to be withheld under KRS 141.310 and 141.315; Provided, however, That the
department may, by regulations, require employers to remit the tax withheld
under KRS 141.310 and 141.315 within a reasonable time after the payroll
period or other period. A return shall be filed by every employer making
payment of wages even though no tax has been withheld.
If the department, in any case, has reason to believe that the collection of the
tax provided for in subsection (1) of this section is in jeopardy, it may require
the employer to make such return and pay such tax at any time.
Every employer, who fails to withhold or pay to the department any sums
required by this chapter to be withheld and paid, shall be personally and
individually liable therefor to the Commonwealth; and any sum or sums
withheld in accordance with the provisions of KRS 141.310 and 141.315 shall
be deemed to be held in trust for the Commonwealth.
The Commonwealth shall have a lien upon all the property of any employer
who fails to withhold or pay over to the department sums required to be
withheld under KRS 141.310 and 141.315. If the employer withholds but fails to
pay the amounts withheld to the department, the lien shall accrue as of the
date the amounts withheld were required to be paid to the department. If the
employer fails to withhold, the lien shall accrue at the time the liability of the
employer becomes fixed.
