Arkansas Code Title 26. Taxation § 26-26-1704. Failure to file statement

(a) If any private car company shall fail or refuse to make and file the statement required by § 26-26-1702 within the time therein prescribed or shall fail or refuse to authorize in writing the use of the information and data submitted by the several railroads in determining its assessment, the Tax Division of the Arkansas Public Service Commission shall proceed to determine and fix the assessment of each car company on the basis of information reported to it by the several railroad companies and other information it may obtain. Each assessed valuation so determined shall be increased by ten percent (10%) as a penalty for failure to file its report, and taxes shall be extended and certified on the increased amount.

(b) If any railroad shall fail or refuse to make and file the statement as required in § 26-26-1703, it shall forfeit to the state, as a penalty for the failure or refusal, the sum of five hundred dollars ($500). Any failure or refusal shall be certified by the division to the Attorney General, whose duty it shall be to institute such action as he or she may deem proper for the collection of any penalty.
