Wyoming Statutes Title 16. City, County, State and Local Powers § 16-9-104. Remittance of tax to the governing body; administrative fee; establishment of rate of tax

(a) Except as provided in W.S. 16-9-109, any tax imposed under this act and the amounts collected are to be remitted quarterly to the governing body. The amount of the tax collected in one (1) calendar quarter by the service supplier shall be remitted to the governing body no later than fifteen (15) days after the close of the calendar quarter. On or before the sixteenth day of each month following the preceding calendar quarter, a return for the preceding quarter shall be filed with the governing body in a form the governing body and service supplier agree upon. The service supplier required to file the return shall deliver the return together with the remittance of the amount of the tax payable to the governing body. The service supplier shall maintain a record of the amount of each tax collected pursuant to this act. The record shall be maintained for a period of one (1) year after the time the tax was collected.

(b) Except as provided by W.S. 16-9-109, the service supplier remitting the taxes collected under this act may deduct and retain one percent (1%) of the taxes collected as the cost of administration for collecting the taxes.

(c) At least once each calendar year, the governing body shall establish a rate of tax not to exceed the amount authorized. Amounts collected in excess of necessary expenditures within any fiscal year shall be carried forward to subsequent years and shall only be used for the purposes set forth in W.S. 16-9-105. The governing body shall fix the rate, publish notice of its new rate and notify by mail every local exchange access company at least ninety (90) days before the new rate becomes effective. The governing body may at its own expense require an annual audit of the service supplier's books and records concerning the collection and remittance of the taxes authorized by this act.

(d) This section does not apply to the taxes authorized and collected for prepaid wireless communication access under W.S. 16-9-109.
