(a) A taxpayer who prepays the taxpayer's tax liability on the basis of a reasonable estimate of the tax liability for a quarter in which a prepayment is made or for a month in which a prepayment is made may deduct and withhold 1.25 percent of the amount of the prepayment in addition to the amount permitted to be deducted and withheld under Section 151.423 of this code. A reasonable estimate of the tax liability must be at least 90 percent of the tax ultimately due or the amount of tax paid in the same quarter, or month, if a monthly prepayer, in the last preceding year. Failure to prepay a reasonable estimate of the tax will result in the loss of the entire prepayment discount.
(b) In order to qualify for the deduction permitted by Subsection (a) of this section, the taxpayer must make the tax prepayment:
(1) on or before the 15th day of the second month of the calendar quarter for which the prepayment is made if the taxpayer pays the tax quarterly; or
(2) on or before the 15th day of the month for which the prepayment is made if the taxpayer pays the tax monthly.
(c) A taxpayer who prepays the tax liability as permitted by this section must file a report when due as provided by this chapter. The amount of a prepayment made by a taxpayer under this section shall be credited against the amount of actual tax liability of the taxpayer as shown on the tax report of the taxpayer. If there is a tax liability owed by the taxpayer in excess of the prepayment credit, the taxpayer shall send to the comptroller the remaining tax liability at the time of filing the quarterly or monthly report. The taxpayer is entitled to the deduction permitted under Section 151.423 of this code on the amount of the remaining tax liability.
(d) If the amount of a prepayment exceeds the actual tax liability, the excess of the prepayment shall be credited against future tax liability of the taxpayer or refunded to the taxpayer as provided by Subchapter C of Chapter 111 of this code. 1
(a) It shall be the duty of the sheriff:
(1) To take from the outgoing sheriff custody of the jail and the bodies of such persons as are confined therein, along with the warrant or cause of commitment;
(2) To furnish persons confined in the jail with medical aid, heat, and blankets, to be reimbursed if necessary from the county treasury, for neglect of which he shall be liable to suffer the penalty prescribed in this Code section; provided, however, that, with respect to an inmate covered under Article 3 of this chapter, the officer in charge will provide such person access to medical aid and may arrange for the person's health insurance carrier to pay the health care provider for the aid rendered; and
(3) To take all persons arrested or in execution under any criminal or civil process to the jail of an adjoining county, or to the jail of some other county if the latter is more accessible, if the jail of his county is in an unsafe condition, under such rules as are prescribed in this chapter.
(b) Subject to the provisions of this subsection and except as provided by law or as directed by a court of competent jurisdiction, a sheriff shall not release a prisoner from his custody prior to the lawful completion of his sentence including any lawful credits under a trusty system. The provision shall not, however, preclude a sheriff from designating an inmate as a trusty and utilizing him in a lawful manner and, furthermore, this provision shall not preclude a sheriff from transferring a prisoner to another jail in another county if the sheriff concludes that such transfer is in the best interest of the prisoner or that such transfer is necessary for the orderly administration of the jail.
(c) Any sheriff or deputy who fails to comply with this Code section shall be fined for contempt, as is the clerk of the superior court in similar cases. The sheriff or deputy shall also be subject to removal from office as prescribed in Code Section 15-16-26.
