(a) Each taxpayer shall, whether or not a tax be due thereon, make and file a return on or before April 30 of the year following the effective date of this chapter and on or before April 30 of each year thereafter. When the return is made for a fiscal year or other period different from the calendar year, the return shall be filed within four months from the end of such fiscal year or period.
(b) Form and Content of Return. The return shall be filed with the Clerk on a form or forms furnished by or obtainable upon request from such Clerk, setting forth:
(1) The aggregate amounts of salaries, wages, commissions, lottery winnings, prize moneys and other compensation earned and gross income from business, profession or other activity, less allowable expenses incurred in the acquisition of such gross income earned during the preceding year and subject to such tax.
(2) The amount of the tax imposed by this chapter on such earnings and profits, and
(3) Such other pertinent statements, information returns, or other information as the Clerk-Treasurer may require.
(Ord. 2004-14. Passed 4-20-04.)
(c) Extension of Time for Filing Returns. The Clerk-Treasurer may extend the time for filing of the annual return upon the request of the taxpayer for a period of not to exceed six months, or one month beyond any extension requested of or granted by the Internal Revenue Service for the filing of the Federal income tax return. The Clerk-Treasurer may require a tentative return, accompanied by payment of the amount of tax shown to be due thereon by the date the return is normally due. No penalty or interest shall be assessed in those cases in which the return is filed and the final tax paid within the period as extended.
(d) Consolidated Returns.
(1) Filing of consolidated returns may be permitted or required in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed by the Clerk-Treasurer.
(2) In the case of a corporation that carried on transactions with its stockholders or with other corporations related by stock ownership, interlocking directorates, or some other method, or in case any person operates a division, branch, factory, office, laboratory or activity within the Village constituting a portion only of its total business, the Clerk-Treasurer shall require such additional information as he may deem necessary to ascertain whether net profits are properly allocated to the Village. If the Clerk-Treasurer finds that net profits are not properly allocated to the Village by reason of transactions with stockholders or with other corporations related by stock ownership, interlocking directorates, or transactions with such division, branch, factory, office, laboratory or activity or by some other method, he shall make such allocation as he deems appropriate to produce a fair and proper allocation of net profits to the Village.
(e) Amended Returns.
(1) Where necessary an amended return must be filed in order to report additional income and pay any additional tax due, or claim a refund of tax overpaid, subject to the requirements, limitations, or both, contained in Section 181.13. Such amended return shall be on a form obtainable on request from the Clerk-Treasurer. A taxpayer may not change the method of accounting or apportionment of net profits after the due date for filing the original return.
(2) Within three months from the final determination of any federal tax liability affecting the taxpayer's Village tax liability, such taxpayer shall make and file an amended Village return showing income subject to the Village tax based upon such final determination of federal tax liability, and pay any additional tax shown due thereon or make claim for refund of any overpayment.
