AI-assisted research summary: Assessing officials may require an immediate report of cut and may make a special yield-tax assessment when a cutting operation has ended and tax collection is at risk.
Whenever it shall appear to the assessing officials that an owner has completed or terminated a cutting operation and the collection of the tax thereon may be placed in jeopardy, they may require that a report of cut be filed immediately with the assessing officials as agents for the commissioner of revenue administration for such operation and make a special assessment of the yield tax against the owner to whom such tax should be assessed and commit a warrant to the tax collector for the same. In any case where the report of cut is not filed within 24 hours of the request for the report, the assessing officials may make a special assessment of the yield tax basing the assessment on such evidence as is available to them. The collector upon receipt of the warrant shall make demand for payment of such tax and may use any provisions of law to collect the tax committed to him in such warrant. In a case where an owner has terminated or completed an operation at least 30 days prior to April 1 of any year, he may, after filing the report of cut as required by RSA 79:11, request that the assessing officials make a special assessment of the yield tax against the owner of the wood and timber severed on such operation. In such cases the assessing officials shall make such special assessment of the yield tax and commit a warrant to the collector for the same and the collector shall proceed in the collection of the same.
