5725.22 Treasurer of state to maintain intangible property tax lists - collection of taxes - refunds - penalties.
The treasurer of state shall maintain an intangible property tax list of taxes levied by section 5707.03 of the Revised Code and certified by the tax commissioner pursuant to sections 5711.13, 5725.08, 5725.16, and 5727.15 of the Revised Code, and a separate list of taxes levied by section 5725.18 of the Revised Code and certified by the superintendent of insurance pursuant to section 5725.20 of the Revised Code. Upon receipt of any assessment certified to him, the treasurer of state shall compute the taxes at the rates prescribed by law and enter the taxes on the proper tax list. He shall collect and the taxpayer shall pay all such taxes and any interest applicable thereto. Payments may be made by mail, in person, or by any other means authorized by the treasurer of state. The treasurer of state shall render a daily itemized statement to the tax commissioner of the amount of taxes collected and the name of the domestic insurance company or assessment certificate number of the person from whom collected. The treasurer of state may adopt rules concerning the methods and timeliness of payment.
Each tax bill issued pursuant to this section shall separately reflect the taxes due, interest, if any, due date, and any other information considered necessary. The last day on which payment may be made without penalty shall be at least twenty but not more than thirty days from the date of mailing the tax bill. The treasurer of state shall mail the tax bill, and the mailing thereof shall be prima-facie evidence of receipt thereof by the taxpayer.
The treasurer of state shall refund taxes as provided in this section, but no refund shall be made to a taxpayer having a delinquent claim certified pursuant to this section that remains unpaid. The treasurer of state may consult the attorney general regarding such claims. Refunds shall be paid from the tax refund fund created by section 5703.052 of the Revised Code.
(A) Within twenty days after receipt of any preliminary assessment certified to him, the treasurer of state shall issue a tax bill, but if such preliminary assessment reflects a late filed tax return, the treasurer of state shall add interest as provided in division (A) of section 5725.221 of the Revised Code and issue a tax bill.
(B) Within twenty days after receipt of any amended or final assessment certified to him, the treasurer of state shall ascertain the difference between the total taxes computed on such assessment and the total taxes computed on the most recent assessment certified for the same tax year. If the difference is a deficiency, the treasurer of state shall add interest as provided in division (B)(1) of section 5725.221 of the Revised Code and issue a tax bill. If the difference is an excess, the treasurer of state shall add interest as provided in division (B)(2) of section 5725.221 of the Revised Code and certify the name of the taxpayer and the amount to be refunded to the director of budget and management for payment to the taxpayer. If the taxpayer has a deficiency for one tax year and an excess for another tax year, or any combination thereof for more than two tax years, the treasurer of state may determine the net result after adding interest, if applicable, and, depending on such result, proceed to mail a tax bill or certify a refund.
(C) If a taxpayer fails to pay all taxes and interest, if any, on or before the due date shown on the tax bill but makes payment within ten calendar days of such date, the treasurer of state shall add a penalty equal to five per cent of the taxes due. If payment is not made within ten days of such date, the treasurer of state shall add a penalty equal to ten per cent of the taxes due. The treasurer of state shall prepare a delinquent claim for each tax bill on which penalties were added and certify such claims to the attorney general for collection. The attorney general shall transmit a copy of each claim to the tax commissioner or the superintendent of insurance and proceed to collect the delinquent taxes, penalties, and interest thereon in the manner prescribed by law.
