No person will be personally and individually liable pursuant to this section if that person did not have authority in the management of the business or financial affairs of the financial institution at the time the taxes imposed by KRS 136.500 to 136.575 become or became due. “Taxes” as used in this section includes interest accrued at the rate provided by KRS 131.010(6) and all applicable penalties and fees imposed under the provisions of KRS 136.500 to 136.575 and KRS 131.180, 131.440, and 131.990.
