Section 45-47-244.28
Charge for collection.
The State Department of Revenue shall charge Marion County for collecting the special taxes herein levied by this subpart, the cost of making such collections which charge shall not exceed five percent of the amount collected. Such charge may be deducted once each month from the special sales and use taxes collected before certifying the amount of special taxes due Marion County. The Commissioner of Revenue shall pay into the State Treasury all taxes collected under this subpart, as such taxes are received by the State Department of Revenue; and on or before the tenth day of each successive month, commencing with the month following the month in which the department makes the first collection hereunder, the commissioner shall certify to the Comptroller the amount of taxes collected under this subpart and paid by him or her into the State Treasury for the benefit of Marion County during the month immediately preceding the making of such certificate. Provided, however, that before certifying the amount of the taxes paid into the State Treasury for the benefit of Marion County during each month, the commissioner may deduct from the taxes collected in the month the charges due the department for the collection of the taxes for the county. It shall be the duty of the Comptroller to issue his or her warrant each month payable to Marion County in an amount equal to the amount so certified by the Commissioner of Revenue as having been collected for the use of Marion County.
