Article 1. Returns And Payments of California Revenue And Taxation Code >> Division 2. >> Part 18.5. >> Chapter 5. >> Article 1.

The taxes imposed by this part are due and payable to the board quarterly on or before the last day of the month next succeeding each quarterly period in which the scaling date for the timber harvested occurs.

On or before the last day of the month following each calendar quarter, a return for the preceding quarterly period shall be filed with the board in such form as the board may prescribe. The return shall include the following information with respect to timber harvested by the timber owner in the preceding calendar quarter: the volume harvested and the number of Christmas trees cut; the quarter the timber was harvested and the quarter the Christmas trees were cut; the date or dates the timber was scaled; the species; and any other information deemed necessary by the board for the administration of this part. At the assessor's request, the board shall provide copies of these returns to the assessor of the county from which the timber was harvested.

The person required to file the return shall deliver the return together with a remittance of the amount of the tax due to the office of the board.

The board if it deems it necessary in order to insure payment to or facilitate the collection by the state of the amount of taxes, may require returns and payment of the amount of taxes for quarterly periods other than calendar quarters, or for other than quarterly periods.

The board for good cause may extend for not to exceed one month the time for making any return or paying any amount required to be paid under this part. The extension may be granted at any time provided a request therefor is filed with the board within or prior to the period for which the extension may be granted. Any person to whom an extension is granted shall pay, in addition to the tax, interest at the adjusted annual rate established pursuant to Section 19521 from the date on which the tax would have been due without the extension until the date of payment.
