Title 68. Revenue and Taxation
§68-247. Additional penalty for filing return or report containing insufficient information to determine correctness of tax liability - Purpose.

Any taxpayer who files a purported state tax return or report that does not contain sufficient information to determine the correctness of the reported tax liability and that, on its face, indicates a prima facie intent to delay or impede the administration or enforcement of any state tax law shall be subject to a penalty, in addition to any other penalty imposed by law, in the amount of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00). Said penalty shall be recoverable by the Tax Commission as a part of the tax and shall be apportioned as provided for the apportionment of the tax on which such penalty is collected.

This provision is intended to impose an additional penalty on those taxpayers who do not file required tax returns or reports in processible form, make spurious constitutional claims on the face of the return or report, refuse to complete the return or report, present information that is clearly inconsistent, or declare "gold standard" or "war tax" deductions or any other similar claim with the intent not to file required tax returns or reports in a processible form.
