Surplus Line & Fire Marshal Tax Statements
Semi-Annual Surplus Line Tax Statements for July -
December and the calendar Fire Marshal Tax Statements were
mailed to licensees during the last week of December. The Department of
Insurance requires us to
mail the statements to the address shown on the
license. Sometimes, this is your home address.
Look for the tax statements in the mail and
file them by the
due date — EVEN IF NO TAX IS DUE.
DO NOT ALTER THE NUMBERS ON
THE TAX STATEMENT
By
law,
taxes are due
based on filings with the Surplus Line Association of
Illinois. The numbers on this tax form reflect those
filings. DO NOT CHANGE THESE NUMBERS without
first contacting the Association. Your check must match
the amount preprinted on this form!
THESE TAX STATEMENTS MUST BE
FILED ...
... EVEN IF NO TAX IS DUE.
Failure to file by the due date (February 1 for SL Tax
and March 31 for FM Tax) will result
in a penalty of at least $400!!
KEEP ONE COPY FOR YOUR FILE
...
... … and send the other copy with
your payment to the
DEPARTMENT
OF
INSURANCE at the address shown on
the form. DO NOT mail these forms to the
Association!!
PROOF OF MAILING/DELIVERY
There is nothing in
the surplus line statute that requires you to obtain proof of mailing or proof of
delivery for your tax forms. However, since failure to file by the due date could
subject a licensee to substantial fines and penalties, it is prudent and advisable
to use a delivery system that can provide proof of
mailing/delivery. |
