     15-70-325. Returns. (1) For the purpose of determining the amount of liability for special fuel tax, each special fuel user shall file with the department, on forms prescribed by the department, a quarterly tax return.
     (2) Upon annual application, the department shall waive the filing of a quarterly tax return of any special fuel user who establishes that the user's annual tax liability is or will be $200 or less.
     (3) The user shall make an annual report and return to the department on forms prescribed by the department, on or before January 31 of each year. If the department determines that a user filing annual returns is delinquent in making reports and payments, it shall require the person to file quarterly returns. A return, annual or quarterly, must contain a declaration by the person making the return to the effect that the statements contained in the return are true and are made under penalties of perjury. The declarations have the same force and effect as a verification. The return must show the information that the department may reasonably require for the proper administration and enforcement of this part.
     (4) The special fuel user shall file the return on or before the last day of the next calendar month following the period to which it relates; provided, however, that for good cause the department may grant a taxpayer a reasonable extension of time for filing, but not to exceed 30 days.
