54:49-12.1 Fees for cost of collection.
8. a. If any State tax is not paid within the time prescribed by law, and the director issues a certificate of debt pursuant to R.S.54:49-12, a fee for the cost of collection of the tax may be imposed by the director. In lieu of imposing the actual cost of collection as the fee, the director may impose a fee in the amount of 5% of the tax or $100.00, whichever is greater. In the event that the State tax remains unpaid following the issuance of the certificate of debt and the director takes any further collection action including referral of the matter to the Attorney General, the fee imposed, in lieu of the actual cost of collection, may be 10% of the tax or $200.00, whichever is greater. In the further event that the tax remains unpaid and suit is instituted for the collection of the tax, the fee imposed, in lieu of the actual cost of collection, may be 20% of the tax or $500.00, whichever is greater. The fees imposed pursuant to this section shall be in addition to any interest or penalty, or both, otherwise provided by law. The director shall promulgate regulations for determining the cost of collection.
b. A fee for the cost of collection of 10% of the tax assessed or $200.00, whichever is greater, shall be imposed by the director on the amount of an arbitrary assessment under R.S.54:49-5 or R.S.54:49-7 that is agreed to as final by the taxpayer.
