Assessment fees for a Georgia state chartered institution that is acquired by another Georgia state chartered institution after July 1, but prior to the date that assessments are due and payable, will be assessed on the combined total assets and offices of the combined institutions as of June 30.

Rule 80-5-1-.07 [Repealed]

Rule 80-5-1-.08 Levy, Collection, and Remittance of Tax on Interest Paid to Installment Lenders

(1)

A tax shall be paid on a semiannual basis on all interest charged on loans made under Chapter 3 of Title 7 (Georgia Installment Loan Act). A licensee may report such tax on interest either on a "cash basis" or on an "accrual basis" as those terms are defined in subsection (b). However, once a licensee has made such an initial election, such basis shall not be changed without the prior written approval of the Commissioner, with any such approved change becoming effective at the commencement of the next semiannual reporting period.

(2)

A licensee shall report this tax by use of one of the following methods:

(a)

"Cash Method" is based on actual interest charged during the month as reported in the daily cash report. The charges of interest shall be increased by recoveries of interest on accounts previously written off and the interest may be reduced by interest on accounts to be presently written off and interest being refunded on accounts prepaid by cash, renewal, and refinancing. The net interest is subject to the tax.

(b)

"Accrual method" is based principally on collections during the month of accounts under the Act. An accurate percentage comparison of interest charged to the gross loan is obtained by dividing the outstanding loans at the beginning of the month into unearned interest at the beginning of the month. The percent obtained is then multiplied by the collections for the month. The total obtained is subject to be taxed.

(3)

The taxes payable under the provisions of subsection (a) shall be payable to the Department by the licensee on a semiannual basis. More specifically, such taxes for the period January 1 through June 30 of each year shall be remitted to the Department no later than the first business day of September of each year and such taxes for the period July 1 through December 31 of each year shall be remitted to the Department no later than the first business day of March of each year. A return indicating the amount of the tax, the method of calculation, and such other information as may be required by the Department shall accompany the taxes remitted. The taxes and the corresponding return shall be remitted to the Department through its online reporting and payment system. In the event that any licensee fails to timely remit taxes along with the corresponding return via the online reporting and payment system, the unpaid tax shall bear interest at the rate of one percent (1%) per month from the date the tax is due until the date the tax is paid, and there shall be added to the tax a penalty equivalent to twenty-five percent (25%) of the tax, or not less than five dollars ($5). In the event that any licensee fraudulently remits the incorrect tax, there shall be added to the tax a penalty equivalent to fifty percent (50%) of the tax, or not less than five dollars ($5).
