Section 81-09-02-20 - Waiver of requirement to file producer's report1. The commissioner may waive the producer's requirement to file a monthly oil or gas report. To qualify for a waiver the producer must file an application for waiver with the commissioner. The producer must receive written approval from the commissioner before a waiver of the filing requirement will become effective. 2. All tax due on oil sold from a producing property, for which the filing requirement has been waived, must be reported and paid on the purchaser's monthly report. A waiver does not release a producer from any responsibility to remit tax due. A producer's period of obligation will be determined by the filing date of the purchaser's return. A producer must continue to maintain production records for inspection by the commissioner. 3. A producer must continue to report and remit the tax on all oil not sold at the well, including any oil used, lost, stolen, or otherwise unaccounted for after it has been produced even though a waiver has been received. 4. The commissioner may terminate the waiver at any time by providing written notice to the producer. The producer will be required to file a return effective for the production month following the month in which the notice of termination is issued. The producer may terminate the waiver by providing the commissioner with written notice that a return will be filed in the next succeeding month. N.D. Admin Code 81-09-02-20
