Section III-1513 - Automobile Rental Tax Return, Form R-1329-Electronic Filing Requirement

A.R.S. 47:551 imposes a state tax of 2 1/2 percent and a local tax of 1/2 of 1 percent on the gross proceeds from automobile rental contracts.

B. The Department of Revenue is required to collect the 3 percent automobile rental tax and to provide the 1/2 percent local tax collection amount for distribution to the local tax authorities.

C. Effective with the July 2009 filing period, dealers who collect the automobile rental tax will be required to file the automobile rental tax return, form R-1329, electronically with the Department of Revenue using the electronic format prescribed by the department.

D. Failure to comply with this electronic filing requirement will result in the assessment of a penalty of $100 or 5 percent of the tax, whichever is greater, as provided by R.S. 47:1520(B).

1. If it is determined that the failure to comply is attributable, not to the negligence of the taxpayer, but to other cause set forth in written form and considered reasonable by the secretary, the secretary may remit or waive payment of the whole or any part of the penalty.

2. If the penalty exceeds $25,000, it may be waived by the secretary only after approval by the Board of Tax Appeals.
