Or. Admin. R. 410-141-3615 - MCE Assessment: Filing an Amended Report

Current through Register Vol. 60, No. 12, December 1, 2021

(1) The claims for refunds or payments of additional MCE assessment must be submitted by the MCE on an Authority approved form. The MCE must provide all information required on the report. The Authority may audit the MCE, request additional information, or request an informal conference prior to granting a refund or as part of its review of a payment of a deficiency.

(2) Claim for refund:

(a) If the amount of the MCE assessment imposed is less than the amount paid by the MCE and the MCE does not then owe an assessment for any other calendar period, the Authority may refund the overpayment. In no event shall a refund applicable to a particular calendar quarter exceed the assessment amount actually paid by the MCE;

(b) The MCE may file a claim for refund on an Authority approved form within 180 days after the end of the calendar quarter to which the claim for refund applies;

(c) If there is an amount due from the MCE to the Authority for any past due assessments or penalties, any refund otherwise allowable shall first be applied to the unpaid assessments and penalties, and the Authority shall notify the MCE.

(3) Payment of deficiency:

(a) If the amount of the MCE assessment is more than the amount paid by the MCE, the MCE may file a corrected report and pay the deficiency at any time. The penalty under OAR 410-141-3635 shall stop accruing after the Authority receives full payment of the total deficiency for the calendar quarter;

(b) If there is an error in the determination of the assessment due, the MCE may describe the circumstances of the late additional payment with the late filing of the amended report. The Authority, in its sole discretion, shall determine the penalty for such late additional payments pursuant to OAR 410-141-3635.

(4) If the Authority discovers or identifies information that it determines could give rise to the issuance of a notice of proposed action or the issuance of a refund, the Authority shall issue notification pursuant to OAR 410-141-3640.
