B. A trust shall, annually, on or before the first day of March, report under oath to the Commissioner, the total amount of direct written consideration received from the membership during the preceding calendar year, or since the last return of such considerations was made by such trust.

1.

If any trust fails to remit such taxes in a timely manner, it shall remain liable therefor together with interest thereon at an annual rate equal to the average United States Treasury Bill rate of the preceding calendar year as certified by the State Treasurer on the first regular business day in January of each year, plus four (4) percentage points.

2. For any trust taxed pursuant to this section, the annual tax shall be in lieu of all other state taxes or fees, except the taxes and fees of any subdivision or municipality of the state and except ad valorem taxes. Any trust failing to make such returns and payments promptly and correctly shall forfeit and pay to the Commissioner, in addition to the amount of said taxes and fees and interest, the sum of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) or an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the unpaid amount, whichever is greater; and the trust so failing or neglecting for sixty (60) days shall thereafter be debarred from transacting any business in this state until said taxes, fees and penalties are fully paid.
