54:10A-38. Financial business corporations; revenues from taxes, penalties and interest; apportionment to governmental units; certification; payment

The aggregate amount of tax, penalty and interest payable by financial business corporations pursuant to this act shall upon payment be distributable among the State, the various taxing districts and counties in which taxpayers hereunder have maintained places of business at any time during the tax year. On or before November 1 in each year the director shall determine from receipts allocations contained in tax returns filed subsequent to June 30 of the previous calendar year and prior to July 1 of the current year the aggregate amount of tax, penalty and interest attributable to places of business located in each of the various taxing districts of this State during the tax year. The tax, penalty and interest collected by the director shall be apportioned one-half to the State, one-quarter to such county and one-quarter to the taxing districts in which the financial business corporation has an office or offices. Each county shall be entitled to receive out of the one-quarter allocated to the counties that proportion thereof which the receipts at all offices of such financial business corporations in such county during the taxpayers' fiscal or calendar year accounting period bear to the total receipts of all offices of such financial business corporations in this State during the taxpayers' fiscal or calendar year accounting period. Each taxing district is entitled to that proportion of one-quarter of the tax collected by the director as the receipts at all offices of such financial business corporations in such district during the taxpayers' fiscal or calendar year accounting period bear to the total receipts of all offices of such financial business corporations in such county during the taxpayers' fiscal or calendar year accounting period. The director shall forthwith certify such apportionment to the State Treasurer who shall upon proper audit transmit to each county treasurer a certificate showing the amounts allocated to the taxing district therein and shall on or before November 10 of the year in which the taxes are payable draw and transmit his warrant upon the State Treasurer in favor of the several county treasurers for the amounts allotted to their several counties. Each county treasurer shall forthwith and not later than December 15 pay to the collector or other proper officer of each taxing district the amount allotted thereto deducting, however, the amount due for county taxes from the taxing district. The amount thus paid to the county and taxing district shall be at the disposal of the proper authorities for public purposes.
