Arkansas Code Title 26. Taxation § 26-36-207. Garnishment

Current as of March 28, 2024 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

(a)(1) If the tax upon personal property, moneys, credits, investments in bonds, stocks, joint-stock companies, or otherwise of a person, association, or corporation remains unpaid after October 15 in any year and the county collector is unable to find any personal property of the person, association, or corporation on which to levy to make the taxes due, then the county collector shall present the account for taxes to any person who may be indebted to the person, association, or corporation, and demand the payment of the taxes.

(2) The person to whom the account for taxes is presented shall pay over to the county collector the amount of the taxes that the person owes up to the amount of the debt and take the county collector's receipt for the payment. The receipt shall be taken in all courts of this state as payment on the taxpayer's indebtedness to the full amount expressed on the county collector's receipt.

(b) If the person should fail or refuse, on demand, to pay over the amount of the tax that he or she owes to the county collector, the county collector shall file a statement of the amount of the tax with the person so refusing, which shall operate as a garnishment upon the person so served. The county collector shall proceed to collect the taxes in the manner fixed by law in cases of garnishment.

(c) No person shall be compelled to pay any debt before it may be due nor a greater amount than he or she may be owing the person, corporation, or association.

(d) The cost of garnishment shall be paid by the party refusing to pay the taxes when so requested.
