(1) A licensed dealer or registered fuel handler must complete a monthly tax report with full payment of taxes which must be received by the Department not later than the 25th of the succeeding calendar month. (a) “Received” is the date the report is physically received by the Department or its designated agent. (b) When the due date falls on a Saturday, a Sunday, or any recognized state or federal holiday, the report and payment must be received by the Department or its designated agent on or before the next business day. (2) Tax reports and payments not received by the Department in a timely fashion will be considered late and subject to interest and penalty as described in ORS 319.180. Any tax report and payment not received by the due date of the subsequent report constitutes a “failure to report” and is subject to an additional 10% penalty as described in ORS 319.200. (3) If the report and payment are not received on or before the 25th day of the month a penalty will be assessed pursuant to ORS 319.180 or, if the Department determines that no tax is due, a penalty of $25 will be assessed.
