§ 34.30 DELINQUENT TAXES.
   (A)   If any tax imposed by this subchapter is not paid within the time herein specified for the payment, or any extension thereof, there is to be added thereto a specific penalty equal to 10% of the amount remaining unpaid.
   (B)   In case of any failure to make and file a return within the time prescribed by this subchapter, unless it is shown that such failure is not due to willful neglect, there is to be added to the tax in addition to the 10% specific penalty provided in division (A) above, 10% if the failure is for not more than 30 days with an additional 5% for each additional 30 days or fraction thereof during which such failure continues, not exceeding 25% in the aggregate. If the penalty as computed does not exceed $10, a minimum penalty of $10 must be assessed. The amount so added to any tax must be collected at the same time and the same manner and as a part of the tax unless the tax has been paid before the discovery of the negligence, in which case the amount so added must be collected in the same manner as the tax.
   (C)   If any person willfully fails to file any return or make any payment required by this subchapter, or willfully files a false or fraudulent return or willfully attempts in any manner to evade or defeat any such a tax or payment thereof, there must also be imposed as a penalty an amount equal to 50% of any tax (less any amounts paid on the basis of such false or fraudulent return) found due for the period to which such return related. The penalty imposed by this division must be collected as part of the tax, and is in addition to any other penalties provided by this subchapter.
   (D)   All payments received must be credited first to penalties, next to interest, and then to the tax due.
   (E)   The amount of tax not timely paid, together with any penalty provided by this section, bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum from the time such tax should have been paid until paid. Any interest and penalty must be added to the tax and be collected as part thereof.
