(a) Each innkeeper, on or before the twentieth day of each month, shall transmit returns and remit taxes due to any applicable governing authority imposing a tax under this article showing the gross charges taxable under this article during the preceding calendar month. The governing authority imposing the tax may provide by resolution or ordinance for quarterly or annual returns. The returns required by this subsection shall be made upon forms prescribed, prepared, and furnished by the governing authority imposing the tax.
(b) As used in this subsection, the term "estimated tax liability" means an innkeeper's tax liability under this article, adjusted to account for any subsequent change in the rate of tax imposed under this article or any substantial change in circumstances due to damage to the premises, based on his or her average monthly payments for the last fiscal year. If the estimated tax liability of an innkeeper for any taxable period exceeds $2,500.00, the innkeeper shall file a return and remit to the governing authority imposing the tax not less than 50 percent of the estimated tax liability for the taxable period on or before the twentieth day of the period. The amount of the payment of the estimated tax liability shall be credited against the amount to be due on the return required under subsection (a) of this Code section. This subsection shall not apply to any innkeeper unless during the previous fiscal year the innkeeper's monthly payments exceeded $2,500.00 per month for three consecutive months or more.
