Sec. 6. (a) If a payroll service provider knowingly or intentionally fails to remit taxes withheld pursuant to IC 6-3-4, the payroll service provider is liable and the responsible persons of the payroll service provider shall be personally liable for such taxes that were withheld by the employer and collected by the payroll service provider and not remitted, along with any penalties and interest on such taxes.
(b) A responsible person of the payroll service provider who knowingly or intentionally fails to remit taxes withheld by an employer and collected by the payroll service provider pursuant to IC 6-3-4 commits failure to remit taxes, a Class A misdemeanor. However, the offense is a:
(1) Level 6 felony if the amount of the unremitted taxes is at least seven hundred fifty dollars ($750) and less than fifty thousand dollars ($50,000); and
(2) Level 5 felony if the amount of the unremitted taxes is at least fifty thousand dollars ($50,000).
(c) The liability under this section shall not be construed to relieve the liability of the employer, or any person otherwise with a duty to withhold and remit taxes under IC 6-3-4 for taxes that were withheld or should have been withheld pursuant to IC 6-3-4.
(d) Any amounts paid to or collected by the department pursuant to this section from a payroll service provider or responsible person of a payroll service provider must be credited to the employer's liability in the same manner as if the employer or person otherwise with a duty to withhold and remit taxes under IC 6-3-4 had remitted that amount.
