(a) Each vendor shall on or before the twentieth day of each month make and file a return for the preceding month, on forms prescribed by the Village Fiscal Officer, showing the receipts from furnishing lodging, the amount of tax due from the vendor to the Village for the period covered by the return and such other information as the Village Fiscal Officer deems necessary for the proper administration of this chapter. The Village Fiscal Officer may extend the time for making and filing returns. Returns shall be filed by mailing the same to the Village Fiscal Officer , together with payment of the amount of tax shown to be due thereon.
(b) The Village Fiscal Officer may authorize vendors whose tax liability is not such as to merit monthly returns, as determined by the Village Fiscal Officer upon the basis of administrative costs to the Village, to make and file returns at less frequent intervals. Such authorization shall be in writing and shall indicate the intervals at which returns are to be filed.
(c) The Village Fiscal Officer shall stamp or otherwise make on all returns the date received by her and shall also show thereon by stamp or otherwise the amount of payment received with the return. Any vendor who fails to file a return under this chapter shall, for each day he so fails, forfeit and pay into the Village Treasury the sum of one dollar ($1.00).
(d) The Village Fiscal Officer, if she deems it necessary in order to insure the payment of the tax imposed by this chapter, may require returns and payments to be made for other than monthly periods. The returns shall be signed by the vendor or his authorized agent.
