SECTIONS

§ 806. Extension of time to file a tax return.
§ 807. Tax return duly made.

Editor’s note: This version of chapter 8 of this title is included here for reference only, as at the time of this codification the provisions of section 87, that set forth codified section 934 of PL 17-50, as amended by section 1 of PL 17-83, made this Act null and void.

Section 1 of PL 17-83 states:

Section 1. Section 934 of title 54 of the Code of the Federated States of Micronesia, as enacted by Public Law No. 17-50, is hereby amended to read as follows:

§ 934. If any of the four states of the Federated States of Micronesia have not passed into law value added tax legislation as of midnight July 19, 2013, this act is null and void.

Section 7 of PL 17-50 added a subchapter II of chapter 8 entitled Tax Returns.

§ 806. Extension of time to file a tax return.

(1) A taxpayer required to file a tax return may apply, at any time and in writing, to the CEO for an extension of time to file the return.

(2) The CEO may, upon satisfaction that there is reasonable cause (as defined in regulations issued from time to time by the Authority), grant an application under subsection (1) of this section and must serve notice of the decision on the applicant.

(3) An extension of time granted under this section does not change the date for payment of tax due as specified in the revenue law under which the return has been made, but shall extend the date from which penalties shall be payable with respect to the late filing of a return.

Editor’s note: The sections of this chapter were numbered such that all of the sections were not numbered in the eight hundreds, but were also numbered in the nine hundreds. This created a problem because some of the nine hundred section numbers were already designated by chapter 9 of this title. This section was therefore renumbered from 811 to 806 to allow all of the sections in this chapter to have eight hundred section numbers.

§ 807. Tax return duly made.

A tax return purporting to be filed by or on behalf of a taxpayer is treated as having been filed by the taxpayer or with the taxpayer’s authority unless the contrary is proved.
