§19-503. Extension for Payment.
(1) If the due date for the payment of any tax, rent, fee
or other obligation due the City falls on a Sunday or a holiday, or any day
during which the agency collecting such tax, rent, fee or other obligation is
not open for a full business day, the Department of Collections may postpone
such due date to the next following business
day.
[64] (2) The Department
may, upon proper cause shown, grant a taxpayer an extension of not more than 60
days for the payment of any tax, except real estate taxes and water and sewer
rents. Application for such extension shall be made on or before the last day
for the payment of the tax, is such form as the Department
prescribes.
[65] (3) If any
Federal taxing authority grants to any taxpayer an extension for the payment of
Federal income tax for a period in excess of 60 days, the Department may grant
an additional extension of time for the payment of any City tax affected
thereby, not to exceed 30 days after the termination of the Federal extension
period.
(4) Where an extension for payment of any tax has been granted
by the Department, the principal amount of such tax shall be subject to interest
from the original due date at the rate of ½ of 1% per month, or part
thereof, but shall not be subject to any penalty if paid within the extended
period.
