bond - Delinquency - Reduction of amount of tax due on final return. A. On or before November 25, 2004, all persons who have received a gross production tax purchaser reporting number or have otherwise been approved to remit gross production taxes, shall remit a one-time payment of gross production tax in an amount equal to the lesser of the average monthly remittance due from the tax remitter for the period from September 1, 2003, through August 31, 2004, or the average monthly remittance for the period from March 1, 2004, through August 31, 2004. Provided, a tax remitter may apply to the Oklahoma Tax Commission to reduce its remittance because the average monthly remittance computed under this paragraph is not reflective of the current volumes of production reported by the tax remitter. The application to remit a lesser amount must be filed with the Tax Commission on or before October 1, 2004. The decision of the Tax Commission on the application shall be final and no right of appeal to any court may be taken from such decision. B. The Tax Commission shall reduce the amount of the bond required by the Tax Commission by the amount of the one-time payment. If the bond posted is equal to or less than the amount of the payment, the tax remitter shall be relieved from the bond requirement, upon request. The tax remitter shall neither deduct nor otherwise collect all or any portion of the one-time payment from any person or entity entitled to the proceeds of production from an oil or gas lease in the State of Oklahoma. C. If the tax is not paid on or before November 25, 2004, the tax shall become delinquent and shall be collected in the manner provided by law for the collection of delinquent gross production taxes. D. The amount of tax due on the final return of a tax remitter shall be reduced by the amount of the payment made pursuant to this section. If the amount due is less than the amount of the payment required by this section, the Tax Commission shall refund the balance of the payment to the tax remitter.
