In addition to the provisions of section 4 of P.L.2010, c.22 (C.54:39-104) and except as otherwise provided in section 12 of P.L.2010, c.22 (C.54:39-112), the tax of 2 cents per gallon as imposed by subsection b. of section 3 of P.L.2010, c.22 (C.54:39-103) on each gallon of aviation fuel so reported shall be paid by each supplier, permissive supplier, importer, exporter, blender, distributor, liquefied petroleum gas dealer, or aviation fuel dealer, the payment to accompany the filing of the report. b. Each supplier, permissive supplier, importer, exporter, blender, distributor, liquefied petroleum gas dealer, or aviation fuel dealer who sells aviation grade kerosene for distribution to general aviation airports shall, on or before the 22nd day of each month, render a report to the director, stating the number of gallons of aviation grade kerosene sold by that person for distribution to general aviation airports during the preceding month. Except as otherwise provided by section 12 of P.L.2010, c.22 (C.54:39-112), the tax of 2 cents per gallon imposed under subsection b. of section 3 of P.L.2010, c.22 (C.54:39-103) on each gallon of aviation grade kerosene so reported shall be paid by each supplier, permissive supplier, importer, exporter, blender, distributor, liquefied petroleum gas dealer, or aviation fuel dealer, the payment to accompany the filing of the report. c. If a supplier, permissive supplier, importer, exporter, blender, distributor, liquefied petroleum gas dealer, or aviation fuel dealer shall fail, neglect or refuse to file the report within the time prescribed by this section, the director shall note such failure, neglect or refusal upon the director's records, and may estimate the sales, distribution and use of that supplier, permissive supplier, importer, exporter, blender, distributor, liquefied petroleum gas dealer, or aviation fuel dealer, assessing the tax thereon, and adding to that assessed tax a penalty of 20% thereof for failure, neglect or refusal to report, and that estimate shall be prima facie evidence of the true amount of tax due to the director from the supplier, permissive supplier, importer, exporter, blender, distributor, liquefied petroleum gas dealer, or aviation fuel dealer provided that if a good and sufficient cause or reason is shown for a delinquency, the director may remit or waive the payment of the whole or any part of the penalty, as allowed by the State Uniform Tax Procedure Law, R.S.54:48-1 et seq. Reports required by this section, exclusive of schedules, itemized statements and other supporting evidence annexed to those reports, shall at all reasonable times be open to the public, notwithstanding any provision of R.S.54:50-8 to the contrary. d. The monthly filing provisions of this section notwithstanding, the director may require payments of tax liability at intervals and based upon those classifications as the director may prescribe by regulation. In prescribing those other periods to be covered by the return or intervals or classifications for payment of tax liability, the director may take into account the dollar volume of tax involved and the need for assuring the prompt and orderly collection of the taxes imposed. e. The refund provisions of section 12 of P.L.2010, c.22 (C.54:39-112) shall not apply to amounts paid pursuant to this section. However, a user of general aviation aircraft shall be allowed a refund or credit of the tax imposed by subsection a. of section 3 of P.L.2010, c.22 (C.54:39-103), provided the user complies with the provisions of section 12 of P.L.2010, c.22 (C.54:39-112). L.2010, c.22, s.6; amended 2010, c.79, s.5.
