Reciprocal enforcement of tax liabilities between this state and other states

Official textwebserver.rilegislature.govlast amended 1965

# (a)

At the request of the tax administrator, the attorney general of this state may bring suit, in the name of this state or in the name of the tax administrator, in the appropriate court of any other state to collect any tax legally due this state; and any political subdivision of this state or its appropriate officer, acting in its behalf, may bring suit in the appropriate court of any other state to collect any tax legally due to that political subdivision.

# (b)

The courts shall recognize and enforce liabilities for taxes similar to the taxes imposed by this state and lawfully imposed by any other state, or its political subdivision, which extends a like comity to this state, and the authorized officer of any other state, or its political subdivision, may sue for the collection of the taxes in the courts of this state. A certificate by the secretary of state of the other state that the officer suing for the collection of the tax is authorized to collect the taxes is conclusive proof of the authority. A certificate by the tax administrator that the tax of the other state or its political subdivision is similar to a tax imposed by this state is prima facie evidence of the similarity.

# (c)

For the purposes of this section, the words âtaxâ and âtaxesâ include interest and penalties due under any taxing statute, and liability for the interest or penalties, or both, due under a taxing statute of another state, or its political subdivision, is recognized and enforced by the courts of this state to the extent that the laws of the other state permit the enforcement in its courts of liability for the interest or penalties or both, due under the tax laws of this state or any political subdivision of this state.
