Sec. 131.02. (A) Whenever any amount is payable to the state, | 31 |
the officer, employee, or agent responsible for administering the | 32 |
law under which the amount is payable shall immediately proceed
to | 33 |
collect the amount or cause the amount to be collected and
shall | 34 |
pay the amount into the state treasury or into the appropriate | 35 |
custodial fund in the manner set
forth
pursuant to section 113.08 | 36 |
of the Revised Code. Except as otherwise provided in this | 37 |
division, if the
amount is
not paid within forty-five days after | 38 |
payment is due,
the officer,
employee, or agent shall certify the | 39 |
amount due to
the attorney
general, in the form and manner | 40 |
prescribed by the
attorney
general, and notify the director of | 41 |
budget and
management thereof. In the case of an amount payable by | 42 |
a student enrolled in a state institution of higher education, the | 43 |
amount shall be certified within the later of forty-five days | 44 |
after the amount is due or the tenth day after the beginning of | 45 |
the next academic semester, quarter, or other session following | 46 |
the session for which the payment is payable. The attorney general | 47 |
may assess the collection cost to the amount certified in such | 48 |
manner and amount as prescribed by the attorney general. | 49 |
For the purposes of division (F)(3) of this section, an | 113 |
action to collect a tax debt is commenced at the time when any | 114 |
action, including any action in aid of execution on a judgment, | 115 |
commences after a certified copy of the tax commissioner's entry | 116 |
making an assessment final has been filed in the office of the | 117 |
clerk of court of common pleas in the county in which the taxpayer | 118 |
resides or has its principal place of business in this state, or | 119 |
in the office of the clerk of court of common pleas of Franklin | 120 |
county, as provided in section 5739.13, 5741.14, 5747.13, or | 121 |
5751.09 of the Revised Code or in any other applicable law | 122 |
requiring such a filing. If an assessment has not been issued and | 123 |
there is no time limitation on the issuance of an assessment under | 124 |
applicable law, an action to collect a tax debt commences when the | 125 |
action is filed in the courts of this state to collect the | 126 |
liability. | 127 |
(B)(1) Except as otherwise provided in division (B)(2) of | 141 |
this section, a notice of continuation of lien may be filed in the | 142 |
office of the county recorder within six months prior to the | 143 |
expiration of the twelve-year period following the original filing | 144 |
of the lien or the filing of the notice of continuation of the | 145 |
lien as specified in division (A) of this section. The notice
must | 146 |
identify the original notice of lien and state that the
original | 147 |
lien is still effective. Upon timely filing of a notice
of | 148 |
continuation of lien, the effectiveness of the original lien
is | 149 |
continued for twelve years after the last date on which the lien | 150 |
was effective, whereupon it lapses, unless another notice of | 151 |
continuation of lien is filed prior to the lapse. Succeeding | 152 |
notices of continuation of lien may be filed in the same manner
to | 153 |
continue the effectiveness of the original lien. | 154 |
(C) The recorder shall mark each notice of continuation of | 172 |
lien with a consecutive file number and with the date of filing | 173 |
and shall hold the notice open for public inspection. In
addition, | 174 |
the recorder shall index the notices according to the
names of the | 175 |
person against whom they are effective, and shall
note in the | 176 |
index the file numbers of the notices. Except in
cases of liens | 177 |
arising under section 5719.04 of the Revised Code,
the recorder | 178 |
shall mark the record of the original lien
"continued" and note | 179 |
thereon the date on which the notice of
continuation of lien was | 180 |
filed. The recorder may remove a lapsed
lien or lapsed notice of | 181 |
continuation of lien from the file and
destroy it. For any | 182 |
services performed under this section, the
county recorder shall | 183 |
charge and collect the fees set forth in
section 317.32 of the | 184 |
Revised Code. | 185 |
Sec. 2329.07. (A)(1) If neither execution on a judgment | 196 |
rendered
in a court of record or certified to the clerk of the | 197 |
court of
common pleas in the county in which the judgment was | 198 |
rendered is
issued, nor a certificate of judgment for obtaining a | 199 |
lien upon
lands and tenements is issued and filed, as provided in | 200 |
sections
2329.02 and 2329.04 of the Revised Code, within five | 201 |
years from
the date of the judgment or within five years from the | 202 |
date of
the issuance of the last execution thereon or the issuance | 203 |
and
filing of the last such certificate, whichever is later, then, | 204 |
unless the judgment is in favor of the state, the judgment shall | 205 |
be dormant and shall not operate as a lien upon the estate of the | 206 |
judgment debtor. | 207 |
(B) If, in any county other than that in which a judgment was | 218 |
rendered, the judgment has become a lien by reason of the filing, | 219 |
in the office of the clerk of the court of common pleas of that | 220 |
county, of a certificate of the judgment as provided in sections | 221 |
2329.02 and 2329.04 of the Revised Code, and if no execution is | 222 |
issued for the enforcement of the judgment within that county, or | 223 |
no further certificate of the judgment is filed in that county, | 224 |
within five years or, if the judgment is in favor of the state, | 225 |
within twelve years from the date of issuance of the last | 226 |
execution
for the enforcement of the judgment within that county | 227 |
or the
date of filing of the last certificate in that county, | 228 |
whichever
is the later, then the judgment shall cease to operate | 229 |
as a lien
upon lands and tenements of the judgment debtor within | 230 |
that
county, unless the judgment is in favor of the state, in | 231 |
which case the judgment shall not become dormant, except as | 232 |
otherwise provided in division (C) of this section. | 233 |
Sec. 5735.03. Every motor fuel dealer shall file with the | 295 |
tax commissioner a surety bond of not less than five thousand | 296 |
dollars, but may be
required by the tax commissioner to submit a | 297 |
surety bond equal to three
months' average tax liability, on a | 298 |
form approved
by and with a surety satisfactory to the | 299 |
commissioner, upon which
the motor fuel dealer shall be the | 300 |
principal obligor and the state
shall be
the obligee, conditioned | 301 |
upon the prompt filing of true reports
and the payment by the | 302 |
motor fuel dealer to the treasurer of state of
all
motor fuel | 303 |
excise taxes levied by the state,
provided that after notice is | 304 |
received from the state by the
surety of the delinquency of any | 305 |
taxes, if the surety pays the
taxes within thirty days after the | 306 |
receipt of the notice no
penalties or interest shall be charged | 307 |
against the surety. If
the surety does not pay the taxes within | 308 |
thirty days, but does
pay within ninety days from the date of the | 309 |
receipt of notice
from the state by the surety, no penalty shall | 310 |
be assessed
against the surety but the surety shall pay interest | 311 |
at the rate
of six per cent per annum on the unpaid taxes from the | 312 |
date the
taxes are due and payable. If the surety does not pay | 313 |
within
ninety days then the surety shall be liable for interest | 314 |
and
penalties, and the tax commissioner may cancel all bonds | 315 |
issued by
the surety. | 316 |
If liability upon the bond thus filed by the motor fuel | 323 |
dealer with
the commissioner is discharged or reduced, whether by | 324 |
judgment
rendered, payment made, or otherwise, or if, in the | 325 |
opinion of
the commissioner any surety on the bond theretofore | 326 |
given has
become unsatisfactory or unacceptable, the commissioner | 327 |
may
require the motor fuel dealer to file a new bond with | 328 |
satisfactory
sureties
in the same amount, and if a new bond is not | 329 |
filed the
commissioner shall forthwith cancel the license of the | 330 |
motor fuel
dealer. If a new bond is furnished by the motor fuel | 331 |
dealer, the
commissioner
shall cancel and surrender the bond of | 332 |
the motor fuel dealer for which
the new bond is substituted. | 333 |
A surety on a bond furnished by a motor fuel dealer shall be | 334 |
released
from all liability to the state accruing on the bond | 335 |
after the
expiration of sixty days from the date upon which the | 336 |
surety
lodges with the commissioner a written request to be | 337 |
released.
The request shall not operate to release the surety | 338 |
from any
liability already accrued, or which accrues before the | 339 |
expiration
of the sixty-day period. The commissioner shall | 340 |
promptly on
receipt of notice of the request notify the motor fuel | 341 |
dealer who
furnished
the bond and, unless the motor fuel dealer on | 342 |
or before the expiration
of
the sixty-day period files with the | 343 |
commissioner a new bond with
a surety satisfactory to the | 344 |
commissioner in the amount and form
provided in this section, the | 345 |
commissioner shall forthwith cancel
the license of the motor fuel | 346 |
dealer. If the new bond is furnished by
said
motor fuel dealer, | 347 |
the commissioner shall cancel and surrender the bond
of
the motor | 348 |
fuel dealer for which the new bond is substituted. | 349 |
The commissioner, in lieu of any surety bond required by
this | 350 |
section, may accept a deposit by a motor fuel
dealer of cash. Any | 351 |
cash thus accepted
shall be deposited with the treasurer of state | 352 |
to be held by the
treasurer of state,
in the same manner as other | 353 |
cash required to be
deposited with the treasurer of state under | 354 |
the laws of the
state, for the account
of such motor fuel dealer | 355 |
and subject to any lawful
claim of the
state for any excise tax | 356 |
upon motor fuel, and penalties
and interest thereon levied by the | 357 |
laws of this state. The state
shall have a lien upon cash thus | 358 |
deposited for the
amount of any motor fuel excise taxes and | 359 |
penalty and
interest due to the state from the motor fuel dealer | 360 |
in
whose
behalf they were deposited. The amount of cash
to be thus | 361 |
accepted shall in all respects be determined in the
same manner as | 362 |
provided in this section for the amount of surety
bonds. Any cash | 363 |
deposited shall be subject to levy
upon execution to satisfy any | 364 |
judgment secured in any action by
the state to recover any motor | 365 |
fuel excise taxes, and
penalties and interest found to be due to | 366 |
the state from such
motor fuel dealer. The cash shall be
released | 367 |
by the
treasurer of state upon certificate of the commissioner | 368 |
that the
license of the motor fuel dealer in whose behalf they | 369 |
have been
deposited
has been canceled or that other security has | 370 |
been accepted in
lieu thereof, and that the state asserts no claim | 371 |
thereto. | 372 |
Where any person is accepted by the commissioner as surety | 373 |
upon any bond required to be filed by this section, a statement
of | 374 |
the surety under oath shall be filed with the commissioner
showing | 375 |
real estate owned by the surety, together with all liens
and | 376 |
encumbrances thereon, as shown by the records of the county | 377 |
auditor and county recorder of the county in which the property
is | 378 |
located, which statement shall also show that the appraised
value | 379 |
of the interest and equity of the surety is at least double
the | 380 |
face value of the bond, and thereupon the commissioner shall
file | 381 |
with the recorder of the county a certificate, under the
seal of | 382 |
the commissioner, setting forth the name of the motor fuel
dealer | 383 |
in
whose behalf the bond is given and the amount of the bond, | 384 |
together with a description of the parcel of real estate owned in | 385 |
the county by the person accepted as surety, which certificate | 386 |
shall be recorded by such recorder, and thereupon the amount of | 387 |
the bond shall become a lien upon said property and shall so | 388 |
continue until satisfied or released upon certificate of the | 389 |
commissioner, which certificate of release shall be furnished
when | 390 |
other security has been offered by the motor fuel dealer and | 391 |
accepted
by the commissioner, or when the license of the motor | 392 |
fuel dealer, in
whose
behalf the property was pledged as security, | 393 |
has been cancelled
and it is found by the commissioner that the | 394 |
licensed motor fuel dealer
has
paid to the state all excise taxes | 395 |
upon motor fuel
payable by the licensed motor fuel dealer under | 396 |
the laws of
this state, together with all
penalties, interest and | 397 |
fines accruing by reason of any failure
on the part of the motor | 398 |
fuel dealer to make accurate reports of
receipts of taxable motor | 399 |
fuel and to pay the taxes,
penalties, interest, and fines accruing | 400 |
in connection therewith. The
commissioner may issue a certificate | 401 |
of partial release of
the lien on real estate of the surety where | 402 |
property of an
equivalent amount has been substituted, or it | 403 |
appears that the
value of the property remaining subject to the | 404 |
lien is
satisfactory in amount to the commissioner. If any person | 405 |
accepted as surety whose real estate has been subjected to a lien | 406 |
desires to terminate the liability to the state, the
person | 407 |
accepted as a surety may file with
the commissioner a written | 408 |
request to be released. The
commissioner shall promptly notify the | 409 |
motor fuel dealer of the
surety's
request, and unless the motor | 410 |
fuel dealer on or before the expiration
of
sixty days after | 411 |
receipt of such notice files with the
commissioner a new bond with | 412 |
a surety satisfactory to the
commissioner in the amount and form | 413 |
provided in this section the
commissioner shall forthwith cancel | 414 |
the license of said motor
fuel dealer. Promptly upon the | 415 |
expiration of sixty days after receipt
from the
surety of such | 416 |
written request for release, or upon the filing of
a new and | 417 |
acceptable bond with satisfactory sureties by the
motor fuel | 418 |
dealer, the commissioner shall determine whether the surety
is | 419 |
subject to any claim of the state for any unpaid taxes and | 420 |
penalties and interest upon motor fuel under the laws of
this | 421 |
state by reason of the relationship as surety, and if no
liability | 422 |
is asserted the commissioner shall furnish to said
surety a | 423 |
certificate under the seal of the commissioner stating
that no | 424 |
liability is thus asserted and describing the property
owned by | 425 |
the surety subject to the lien of the state for any
taxes and | 426 |
penalties, and said certificate upon presentation shall
be | 427 |
recorded by the recorder of the county in which said property
is | 428 |
located and shall operate from the date of recording as a
release | 429 |
of the property therein described from such lien. | 430 |
(D)(1)(a) Except as otherwise provided in
division (D)(1)(b) | 471 |
of this section, any
pass-through entity
may file a single return | 472 |
on behalf of
one or more of the entity's investors other than an | 473 |
investor that is a
person subject
to the tax imposed under section | 474 |
5733.06 of the Revised Code. The single
return shall set forth
the | 475 |
name, address, and social security number
or other identifying | 476 |
number of each
of those
pass-through entity investors
and shall | 477 |
indicate the distributive
share of each of those
pass-through | 478 |
entity investor's income
taxable in this state
in accordance with | 479 |
sections 5747.20 to
5747.231 of the
Revised
Code. Such | 480 |
pass-through entity investors
for whom the pass-through entity | 481 |
elects to file a single return
are not entitled to the exemption | 482 |
or credit provided for by
sections 5747.02 and 5747.022 of the | 483 |
Revised
Code; shall calculate
the tax
before business credits at | 484 |
the highest rate of tax set
forth in
section 5747.02 of the | 485 |
Revised
Code for the taxable year
for
which the return is filed; | 486 |
and are entitled to only their
distributive share of the business | 487 |
credits as defined in
division
(D)(2) of this
section. A single | 488 |
check drawn by the pass-through
entity shall
accompany
the return | 489 |
in full payment of the tax due, as shown on the single return,
for | 490 |
such investors, other than investors who are persons
subject to | 491 |
the tax imposed under section 5733.06 of the
Revised Code. | 492 |
(c) Nothing in division
(D) of this section precludes
the
tax | 503 |
commissioner from requiring such investors to file the
return
and | 504 |
make the payment of taxes and related interest,
penalty, and | 505 |
interest penalty required by this section or
section 5747.02, | 506 |
5747.09, or 5747.15 of the
Revised Code. Nothing in division
(D) | 507 |
of this section shall be
construed to provide to such an investor | 508 |
or pass-through entity
any additional deduction or credit, other | 509 |
than the credit
provided by division (J) of
this section, solely | 510 |
on account of the entity's filing a return
in accordance with this | 511 |
section. Such a pass-through entity also
shall make the filing
and | 512 |
payment of estimated taxes on behalf of the pass-through
entity | 513 |
investors other than an
investor that is a person subject
to the | 514 |
tax imposed under section 5733.06
of the Revised Code. | 515 |
(4) If a pass-through entity makes the election provided
for | 553 |
under division (D) of this
section, the pass-through entity shall | 554 |
be liable for any
additional taxes, interest, interest penalty, or | 555 |
penalties imposed by this
chapter
if the tax
commissioner
finds | 556 |
that
the single return does
not reflect the
correct tax
due by
the | 557 |
pass-through
entity investors
covered by that
return. Nothing in | 558 |
this
division shall be
construed to limit or
alter the liability, | 559 |
if
any, imposed on
pass-through entity
investors for unpaid or | 560 |
underpaid taxes,
interest, interest
penalty, or penalties as a | 561 |
result of the
pass-through entity's
making the election provided | 562 |
for under
division (D) of this
section.
For the purposes of | 563 |
division
(D) of
this section,
"correct tax due" means the tax that | 564 |
would have been
paid by the
pass-through entity had the single | 565 |
return been filed
in a manner
reflecting
the tax
commissioner's | 566 |
findings. Nothing
in
division (D) of this section
shall be | 567 |
construed to make or hold
a
pass-through entity liable
for tax | 568 |
attributable to a
pass-through
entity investor's
income
from a | 569 |
source other than the
pass-through
entity electing
to file
the | 570 |
single return. | 571 |
Upon good cause shown, the tax commissioner may extend the | 605 |
period
for filing any notice or return required to be filed under | 606 |
this
section and may adopt rules relating to extensions. If the | 607 |
extension results in an extension of time for the payment of any | 608 |
state or school district income tax liability with respect to | 609 |
which the return is filed, the taxpayer shall pay at the time the | 610 |
tax liability is paid an amount of interest computed at the rate | 611 |
per annum prescribed by section 5703.47 of the Revised Code on | 612 |
that liability from the time that payment is due without
extension | 613 |
to the time of actual payment. Except as
provided in section | 614 |
5747.132 of the Revised Code, in
addition to all
other interest | 615 |
charges and penalties, all taxes imposed under this chapter
or | 616 |
Chapter 5748. of the
Revised
Code and remaining
unpaid after they | 617 |
become due, except combined amounts due of one
dollar or less, | 618 |
bear interest at the rate per annum prescribed by
section 5703.47 | 619 |
of the Revised Code until paid or until the day an
assessment is | 620 |
issued under section 5747.13 of the Revised Code, whichever
occurs | 621 |
first. | 622 |
(H) If any report, claim, statement, or other document | 631 |
required to be filed, or any payment required to be made, within
a | 632 |
prescribed period or on or before a prescribed date under this | 633 |
chapter is delivered after that period or that date by United | 634 |
States mail to the agency, officer, or office with which the | 635 |
report, claim,
statement, or other document is required to be | 636 |
filed, or to which the payment is required to be made, the date
of | 637 |
the postmark stamped on the cover in which the report, claim, | 638 |
statement, or other document, or payment is mailed shall be
deemed | 639 |
to be the date of delivery or the date of payment. | 640 |
(J) If, in accordance
with division (D) of this
section, a | 654 |
pass-through entity elects to file a single return
and if any | 655 |
investor is required to file the return and make the
payment of | 656 |
taxes required by this chapter on account of the
investor's other | 657 |
income that is not included in a single return
filed by a | 658 |
pass-through entity, the investor is entitled to a
refundable | 659 |
credit equal to the investor's proportionate share of
the tax paid | 660 |
by the pass-through entity on behalf of the
investor. The
investor | 661 |
shall claim the credit for the
investor's taxable year in
which or | 662 |
with which ends the taxable
year of the pass-through
entity. | 663 |
Nothing in this chapter shall
be construed to allow any
credit | 664 |
provided in this chapter to be
claimed more than once. For
the | 665 |
purposes of computing any
interest, penalty, or interest
penalty, | 666 |
the investor shall be
deemed to have paid the refundable
credit | 667 |
provided by this
division on the day that the pass-through
entity | 668 |
paid the
estimated tax or the tax giving rise to the
credit. | 669 |
For the purposes of division (C) of this section, an | 711 |
individual's allocable share of liability shall be the liability | 712 |
on the joint return multiplied by a fraction. The numerator of the | 713 |
fraction shall equal the tax that would be due from the individual | 714 |
if the individual had filed a separate return for the taxable | 715 |
year, before deducting credits allocable to that individual and | 716 |
before crediting tax payments withheld or paid as estimated taxes | 717 |
by or on behalf of that individual. The denominator of the | 718 |
fraction shall equal the sum of the taxes that would be due from | 719 |
the individual and from the individual's spouse if each had filed | 720 |
a separate return for the taxable year, before deducting credits | 721 |
allocable to either individual and before crediting tax payments | 722 |
withheld or paid as estimated taxes by or on behalf of either | 723 |
individual. If one or more exemptions were claimed on the joint | 724 |
return for a dependent, other than for one of the spouses, under | 725 |
section 5747.025 of the Revised Code, and the claim for exemption | 726 |
is not an item contributing to the understatement, the tax that | 727 |
would be due from each individual shall be computed on the basis | 728 |
of one-half of the total exemption amount being allocated to each | 729 |
individual. If the Ohio adjusted gross income on the joint return | 730 |
was affected by the addition or deduction of an amount with | 731 |
respect only to a dependent, other than one of the spouses, and | 732 |
the addition or deduction is not an item contributing to the | 733 |
understatement of tax, the tax that would be due from each | 734 |
individual shall be computed on the basis of one-half of the | 735 |
amount added or deducted being allocated to each individual. | 736 |
(D) To obtain relief from liability under division (B) or (C) | 737 |
of this section, an individual shall apply to the tax commissioner | 738 |
if the liability has not been certified to the attorney general | 739 |
under section 131.02 of the Revised Code, or shall apply to the | 740 |
attorney general if the liability has been certified to the | 741 |
attorney general. Application shall be made in the manner | 742 |
prescribed by the tax commissioner or attorney general, as | 743 |
applicable, and may be filed not later than two years after the | 744 |
date the attorney general commences collection activities against | 745 |
the individual. For the purposes of this section, collection | 746 |
activities commence when any action, including any action in aid | 747 |
of execution on a judgment, is begun after a certified copy of the | 748 |
tax commissioner's entry making the assessment final has been | 749 |
filed in the office of the clerk of the court of common pleas in | 750 |
the county in which the taxpayer resides or in the office of the | 751 |
clerk of the court of common pleas of Franklin county, as provided | 752 |
in section 5747.13 of the Revised Code. | 753 |
The tax commissioner shall make a finding on the relief | 765 |
sought in any properly and timely filed application and shall | 766 |
serve notice of the commissioner's findings on the applicant in | 767 |
the manner prescribed in section 5703.37 of the Revised Code. If | 768 |
the application was filed with the attorney general, the tax | 769 |
commissioner also shall notify the attorney general of the | 770 |
commissioner's findings. The notice to the applicant shall include | 771 |
a statement informing the individual that the individual may | 772 |
appeal the tax commissioner's determination to the board of tax | 773 |
appeals by filing a notice of appeal under section 5717.02 of the | 774 |
Revised Code, and shall include instructions for filing the notice | 775 |
of appeal. The tax commissioner's determination under this | 776 |
division is a final determination of the tax commissioner | 777 |
appealable under section 5717.02 of the Revised Code. | 778 |
(B) Of the moneys received by the treasurer of state from
the | 819 |
tax levied in division (A)(1) of this section, six and | 820 |
three-tenths per cent shall be credited to the geological mapping | 821 |
fund created in section 1505.09 of the Revised Code, fourteen and | 822 |
two-tenths per cent shall be credited to the
reclamation | 823 |
forfeiture fund
created in section 1513.18 of the Revised Code, | 824 |
fifty-seven and nine-tenths per cent shall be credited to the
coal | 825 |
mining administration and reclamation reserve fund created
in | 826 |
section 1513.181 of the Revised Code, and the remainder shall
be | 827 |
credited to the unreclaimed lands fund created in section
1513.30 | 828 |
of the Revised Code. When, at any time during a fiscal year, the | 829 |
chief
of the division of mineral resources
management
finds that | 830 |
the balance of the coal mining
administration and reclamation | 831 |
reserve fund is below two million
dollars, the chief shall certify | 832 |
that fact to the director of
budget and management. Upon receipt | 833 |
of the chief's
certification, the director shall direct the tax | 834 |
commissioner
to instead credit to the coal mining administration | 835 |
and
reclamation reserve fund during the remainder of the fiscal | 836 |
year for
which the
certification is made the fourteen and | 837 |
two-tenths per cent of the
moneys collected from the tax levied in | 838 |
division (A)(1) of this
section and otherwise required by this | 839 |
division to be credited to
the reclamation forfeiture fund. | 840 |
(C) For the purpose of paying the state's expenses for | 860 |
reclaiming mined lands that the operator failed to reclaim
under a | 861 |
coal
mining and reclamation permit issued under Chapter 1513. of | 862 |
the Revised Code,
or under a surface mining permit issued under | 863 |
Chapter 1514. of the Revised
Code, for
which the operator's bond | 864 |
is not
sufficient to pay the state's expense for reclamation, | 865 |
there is
hereby levied an excise tax on the privilege of engaging | 866 |
in the
severance of coal from the soil or water of this state in | 867 |
addition to the taxes levied by divisions (A)(1) and (D) of this | 868 |
section. The tax shall be imposed at the rate of one cent per
ton | 869 |
of coal. Moneys received by
the treasurer of state from the tax | 870 |
levied under this division
shall be credited to the reclamation | 871 |
forfeiture fund
created in section 1513.18 of the Revised
Code. | 872 |
(D) For the purpose of paying the state's expenses for | 873 |
reclaiming coal mined lands that the operator failed to reclaim
in | 874 |
accordance with Chapter 1513. of the Revised Code under a coal | 875 |
mining and reclamation permit issued after April 10, 1972, but | 876 |
before September 1, 1981, for which the operator's bond is not | 877 |
sufficient to pay the state's expense for reclamation and paying | 878 |
the expenses for administering the state's coal mining and | 879 |
reclamation regulatory program, there is hereby levied an excise | 880 |
tax on the privilege of engaging in the severance of coal from
the | 881 |
soil or water of this state in addition to the taxes levied
by | 882 |
divisions (A)(1) and (C) of this section. The tax shall be
imposed | 883 |
at the rate of one cent per ton of coal as prescribed in
this | 884 |
division. Moneys received by the treasurer of state from
the tax | 885 |
levied by this division shall be credited to the
reclamation | 886 |
forfeiture fund created
in section 1513.18
of the Revised Code. | 887 |
When, at the close of any fiscal year, the chief finds that | 888 |
the balance of the reclamation
forfeiture fund, plus estimated | 889 |
transfers
to it from the coal mining and reclamation reserve fund | 890 |
under
section 1513.181 of the Revised Code, plus the estimated | 891 |
revenues
from the tax levied by this division for the remainder of | 892 |
the
calendar year that includes the close of the fiscal year, are | 893 |
sufficient to complete the reclamation of such lands, the
purposes | 894 |
for which the tax under this division is levied shall be
deemed | 895 |
accomplished at the end of that calendar year. The chief,
within | 896 |
thirty days after the close of the fiscal year,
shall certify | 897 |
those findings to the tax commissioner, and
the tax shall
cease to | 898 |
be imposed after the last day of that calendar year. | 899 |
Upon failure of the taxpayer to pay a tax on the day fixed | 908 |
for payment, the tax commissioner may file, for which no filing | 909 |
fee shall be charged, in the office of the county recorder in
each | 910 |
county in this state in which the taxpayer owns or has a | 911 |
beneficial interest in real estate, notice of the lien containing | 912 |
a brief description of the real estate. The lien shall not be | 913 |
valid as against any mortgagee, purchaser, or judgment creditor | 914 |
whose rights have attached prior to the time the notice is filed | 915 |
in the county in which the real estate that is the subject of
the | 916 |
mortgage, purchase, or judgment lien is located. The notice
shall | 917 |
be recorded in a book kept by the recorder called the
"severance | 918 |
tax lien record" and indexed under the name of the
taxpayer | 919 |
charged with the tax. When the tax has been paid, the
tax | 920 |
commissioner shall furnish to the taxpayer an acknowledgement
of | 921 |
payment, which the taxpayer may record with the recorder of
each | 922 |
county in which notice of the lien has been filed. | 923 |

109.082, 131.02, 5703.06, and 5703.58 of the Revised Code apply to | 944 |
assessments made, or if no assessment was made, to liabilities | 945 |
