55050
. (a) Any person whose estimated fee liability under this part
averages twenty thousand dollars ($20,000) or more per month, as
determined by the board pursuant to methods of calculation prescribed
by the board, shall remit amounts due by an electronic funds
transfer under procedures prescribed by the board.
(b) Any person whose estimated fee liability under this part
averages less than twenty thousand dollars ($20,000) per month may
elect to remit amounts due by electronic funds transfer with the
approval of the board.
(c) Any person remitting amounts due pursuant to subdivision (a)
or (b) shall perform electronic funds transfer in compliance with the
due dates prescribed for the payment of the fee. Payment is deemed
complete on the date the electronic funds transfer is initiated if
settlement to the state's demand account occurs on or before the
banking day following the date the transfer is initiated. If
settlement to the state's demand account does not occur on or before
the banking day following the date the transfer is initiated, payment
is deemed to occur on the date settlement occurs.
(d) Any person remitting fees by electronic funds transfer shall,
on or before the due date of the remittance, file a return for the
preceding reporting period in the form and manner prescribed by the
board. Any person who fails to timely file the required return shall
pay a penalty of 10 percent of the amount of fees, exclusive of
prepayments, with respect to the period for which the return is
required.
(e) Any person required to remit fees pursuant to this article who
remits those fees by means other than appropriate electronic funds
transfer shall pay a penalty of 10 percent of the fees incorrectly
remitted.
(f) Any person who fails to pay any fee to the state or any amount
of fee required to be collected and paid to the state, except
amounts of determinations made by the board under Article 2
(commencing with Section 55061) within the time required shall pay a
penalty of 10 percent of the fee or amount of fee, in addition to the
fee or amount of fee, plus interest at the modified adjusted rate
per month, or fraction thereof, established pursuant to Section
6591.5, from the date on which the fee or the amount of fee required
to be collected became due and payable to the state until the date of
payment.
(g) In determining whether a person's estimated fee liability
averages twenty thousand dollars ($20,000) or more per month, the
board may consider returns filed pursuant to this part and any other
information in the board's possession.
(h) The penalties imposed by subdivisions (d), (e), and (f) shall
be limited to a maximum of 10 percent of the fees due, exclusive of
prepayments, for any one return. Any person remitting fees by
electronic funds transfer shall be subject to the penalties under
this section and not Section 55042.
(i) The board shall promulgate regulations pursuant to Chapter 3.5
(commencing with Section 11340) of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2
of the Government Code for purposes of implementing this section.
