A. Should any railroad, air carrier or public service corporation doing business in this state fail or refuse to file the statements or schedules with the Oklahoma Tax Commission within the time and manner required by law, it shall be the duty of the State Board of Equalization to ascertain from the best information obtainable the value of the property of such company. The Tax Commission may grant an extension without penalty, upon written request of the taxpayer and for a good cause, of not to exceed fifteen (15) days for the filing of the returns as required by the Ad Valorem Tax Code.
B. There shall be assessed by the State Board of Equalization an administrative penalty for every day which a railroad, air carrier or public service corporation doing business in this state fails or refuses to file the statements or schedules with the Tax Commission within the time and manner required by law in the lesser of the amount of Two Hundred Dollars ($200.00) per day for each county in which such entity has property subject to ad valorem tax or one percent (1%) of the assessed value. The State Board of Equalization shall be responsible for collecting this penalty and shall remit fifty percent (50%) of such penalty to the county general fund of the counties in which such entity has property subject to ad valorem tax. Fifty percent (50%) of such penalty shall be deposited in the General Revenue Fund.
