La. Admin. Code tit. 61 § I-312

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 5, May 20, 2024
Section I-312 - Extension of Time for Filing Return and Paying the Tax
A. When such application for an extension of time within which to file the report required by this Chapter has been filed, the Secretary of Revenue and Taxation may grant such extension for a period not to exceed six months from the due date of the report prescribed by R.S. 47:609 and R.S. 47:611. In any case in which the taxpayer has filed a request for an automatic extension of time within which to file its federal income tax return with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, a copy of the automatic extension request attached to the report required by this Chapter will be accepted by the secretary as an application filed under this Section, and an extension equal to that granted by the federal government will be granted by Louisiana.
B. The granting of an extension of time within which to file the report required by this Chapter does not automatically grant an extension of time within which the tax shall be paid, and the secretary may require payment of the estimated amount of tax due as a condition to granting the report filing extension.
C. Whenever an extension has been granted with respect to payment of the tax, interest accrues thereon for the period from the payment date prescribed by R.S. 47:609 to the date on which the tax is paid.
