     15-37-105. Computation and payment of tax. (1) The tax due under this part is computed according to 15-37-103 and is due and payable on or before March 31 of each year for the products produced in the preceding calendar year. The tax due under this part becomes delinquent as of midnight on March 31 of the year immediately following the production year. If good cause is shown, the department may grant a reasonable extension of time for payment of the tax. During the period of any extension granted, the tax due bears interest at a rate of 1% a month or any part thereof.
     (2) If any person has sold or otherwise disposed of any of the mine's products at a price substantially below the true market price of the product at the time and place of sale or disposal, then the department shall compute the gross value of the portion of the mine's product sold or disposed of substantially below the market price. The gross value shall be based upon the quotations of the price of the mine's product in New York City at the time the portion of the product was sold or otherwise disposed of as evidenced by some established authority or market report, such as the Engineering and Mining Journal of New York, or some other standard publication, giving the market reports for the year covered by the statement. If there is no quotation covering any particular product, then the department shall fix the value of the gross product or portion of the gross product that was sold or otherwise disposed of at a price substantially below the true market price at the time and place of sale or disposal in a manner as may seem to be equitable.
