(A) Each operator shall, on or before the last day of the month following the close of each calendar quarter or at the close of any shorter reporting period which may be established by the Director of Finance of the city, make a return to the Director of Finance on forms provided by him or her of the total rents charged and received and the amount of tax collected for transient occupancies.
(B) At the time the return is filed, the full amount of the tax collected shall be remitted to the Director of Finance. The Director of Finance may establish shorter reporting periods for any certificate holder if he or she deems it necessary in order to insure collection of the tax and he or she may require further information on the return. Returns and payments are due immediately upon cessation of business for any reason.
(C) All taxes collected by operators pursuant to this article shall be held in trust for the account of the city until payment thereof is made to the Director of Finance.
