Section 58-29C-56 - Member assessment as offset against premium tax liabilityA. A member insurer may offset against its premium tax liability to this state an assessment described in subpart 58-29C-52H to the extent of twenty percent of the amount of the assessment for each of the five calendar years following the year in which the assessment was paid. If the assessment is five hundred dollars or less, the member insurer shall take the total offset in the first year following the year in which the assessment was paid. However, total assessments offset against premium taxes may not exceed two million dollars in any year. If offsets exceed the annual limitation in this section, the excess may be carried forward to a subsequent year in which the annual limitation has not been exceeded. Any excess shall be apportioned among the contributing insurers in relation to their assessment that caused the limit to be exceeded. In the event a member insurer should cease doing business, all uncredited assessments may be credited against its premium tax liability for the year it ceases doing business.B. Any sums that are acquired by refund, pursuant to subpart 58-29C-52F, from the association by member insurers, and that have been offset against premium taxes as provided in subpart A of this section, shall be paid by the insurers to this state in such manner as the tax authorities may require. The association shall notify the director that refunds have been made.
