On or before the last day of each calendar month, every operator or plan manager taxable under this chapter during the preceding calendar month shall file a sworn return with the director in a form prescribed by the director unless the operator or plan manager has obtained permission to make tax returns and payments on a quarterly or semiannual basis.(b) How to report gross income or gross proceeds. The operator or plan manager shall be required to file monthly, quarterly, or semiannual returns, and annual returns with the department in the same manner and at the same time as the returns are filed in accordance with chapter 237, HRS, except as otherwise provided in this chapter.(c) Where to file tax returns and make payments.

At any time, the director may revoke the permission given to file a return and make payments thereon on a quarterly or semiannual basis during the calendar year if: (1) An operator or plan manager becomes delinquent in the filing of the tax return or the payment of taxes due thereon;(2) The director determines that the operator or plan manager plans to depart quickly from the State or is disposing of or concealing assets or doing any other act tending to prejudice or jeopardize the proper administration of this chapter, including assessment or collection of a deficiency. In addition to revoking the permission granted, the director may immediately assess, insofar as not previously assessed, the taxes imposed by this chapter; or(3) The operator's or plan manager's total tax liability for the calendar year exceeds $2,000 for quarterly returns or $1,000 for semiannual returns. Upon revocation, the operator or plan manager shall file a tax return of the installment of the tax due on or before the last day of the calendar month following the month, quarter, or semiannual period, as the case may be, in which the liability arose and each month thereafter. The operator or plan manager shall transmit the return with a remittance for the amount of the tax, to the appropriate taxation district office in accordance with subsection (c).
