136.050 Time of payment of corporation, property, and franchise taxes -- Interest -

- Penalties.

(1) Except where otherwise specially provided, all corporations required to make

reports to the Department of Revenue shall pay all taxes due the state from them

into the State Treasury at the same time as natural persons are required to pay taxes,

and when delinquent shall pay the same rate of interest and penalties as natural

persons who are delinquent.

(2) All state taxes assessed against any corporation under the provisions of KRS

136.120 to 136.200 shall be due and payable as provided in KRS 131.110. All

county, city, school, and other taxes so assessed shall be due and payable thirty (30)

days after notice of the amount of the tax is given by the collecting officer. The

state, county, city, school, and other taxes found to be due on any protested

assessment or portion thereof shall begin to bear legal interest on the sixty-first day

after the Board of Tax Appeals acknowledges receipt of a protest of any assessment

or enters an order to certify the unprotested portion of any assessment until paid,

except that in no event shall interest begin to accrue prior to January 1 following

April 30 of the year in which the report is due. Every corporation so assessed that

fails to pay its taxes when due shall be deemed delinquent, a penalty of ten percent

(10%) on the amount of the tax shall attach, and thereafter the tax shall bear interest

at the tax interest rate as defined in KRS 131.010(6).
