A. Every person required to have a license under this chapter shall on or before the last days of April, July, October and January file with the tax collector a report, upon a form provided by the tax collector, setting forth such information as the tax collector shall require, including the following:
1. The name or other identification of all oil wells located in the city operated by him during the calendar quarter involved;
2. The number of barrels of oil produced and shipped from each of the wells during the quarter; and
3. The computation of the amount of the per-barrel tax with respect to such production due the city.
B. At the time of filing the report he shall also pay to the tax collector any additional license tax which may be shown to be due. The report must be signed by the person required to have the license or by a managing officer or agent thereof and shall include a declaration substantially as follows:
"I declare under penalty of perjury that I am authorized to make and file the foregoing statement, and that to the best of my knowledge and belief it is a true, correct, and complete statement made in good faith for the period stated."
C. The statement shall not be conclusive against the city as to the information set forth therein, nor shall the filing of a statement preclude the city from collecting by appropriate action any additional tax that is later determined to be due and payable.
(Prior code § 5.08.040(D) (Ord. 533 § 2 (part), 1962: Ord. 494 § 42.5(e))
Every person required to have a license under this chapter shall keep full, true, and accurate records as to the amount of oil produced and shipped or sold by him from wells located within the city and shall, upon the demand of the tax collector, make the records, together with any shipping documents or sales invoices pertaining to such oil, available for the inspection of the tax collector at all reasonable times.
(Prior code § 5.08.040(F) (Ord. 533 § 2 (part), 1962: Ord. 494 § 42.5(f))
In the event any person required to have a license under this chapter fails to file a report of the quarterly production and shipment of oil from his wells as provided in Section 5.12.040, or that the information filed in such report is insufficient to enable the tax collector to compute the license tax liability of such person, the tax collector shall, by such method as he may deem appropriate, estimate the amount of the tax due from the person. Notice thereof may be sent by the tax collector to such person by registered mail at his latest address as shown on the city's records, and, unless within thirty days thereafter a proper statement is filed by such person with the tax collector, the estimate shall become a final and binding determination of the amount of the tax.
