If any provider shall fail to file a return within the time required by this chapter, or shall file an insufficient or incorrect return, or shall not pay the assessment imposed by this chapter when it is due, the tax administrator shall assess upon the information as may be available, which shall be payable upon demand and shall bear interest at the annual rate provided by § 44-1-7 from the date when the assessment should have been paid. If any part of the assessment made is due to negligence or intentional disregard of the provisions of this chapter, a penalty of ten percent (10%) of the amount of the determination shall be added to the assessment. The tax administrator shall collect the assessment with interest in the same manner and with the same powers as are prescribed for collection of taxes in this title.
