Section 40-16-5

When tax due; extension of time for payment.

The excise tax hereby levied and to be assessed shall be payable on or before April 15 of the current state tax year and on the same date of each state tax year thereafter for the privilege of engaging in such business within this state during the current state tax year of the corporation. If the financial institution has received a written extension of time to file the excise tax return from the department, then one half of the estimated tax due shall be payable on April 15 and the remaining one-half, plus interest, shall be payable when the return is filed. The Department of Revenue may, in its discretion, extend the time for the payment of the tax either by general extension to all taxpayers liable therefor or by special extension to a particular taxpayer.
