312.09: claim in whole or in part and shall mail a notice thereof by registered mail to such person at the address stated upon the return. If such claim is allowed in whole or in part, the Director shall credit the amount of the allowance against any taxes due under this Chapter from the claimant and the balance of said allowance, if any, shall be paid by the Director to the claimant. FAILURE TO FILE A RETURN: A. If any operator required by this Chapter to file a return shall fail to do so within the time prescribed, or shall make, willfully or otherwise, an incorrect, false, or fraudulent return, the operator shall, upon written notice and demand, file such return or corrected return within five (5) days of receipt of such written notice and shall at the same time pay any tax due on the basis thereof. If such person shall fail to file such return or corrected return, the Director shall make a return or corrected return, for such person from such knowledge and information as the Director can obtain, and assess a tax on the basis thereof, which tax, less any payments theretofore made on account of the tax for the taxable period covered by such return shall be paid within five (5) days of the receipt of written notice and demand for such payment. Any such return or assessment made by the Director shall be prima facie correct and valid, and such person shall have the burden of establishing its incorrectness or invalidity in any action or proceeding in respect thereto. B. If any portion of a tax imposed by this Chapter, including penalties thereon, is not paid within thirty (30) days after it is required to be paid, the City may institute such legal action as may be necessary to recover the amount due plus interest, penalties, the costs and disbursements of any action. C. Upon a showing of good cause, the Director may grant an operator one thirty (30) day extension of time within which to file a return and make payment of taxes as required by this Chapter provided that interest during such period of extension shall be added to the taxes due at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum.
