Your 2018 Annual Return available for download has not been updated to reflect the correct dates. The due date for this form is 13 days away…

Due to a costly medical concern in my family, I was late with one of my quarterly car taxes. I happily paid the understandable late fee. But, now, because I was late, I owe the whole year’s taxes instead of paying quarterly AND there is a dollar a day penalty for not paying that. How long has kicking people when they are down been part of this city’s tax policy? Obviously if someone is late with a $200 tax, they don’t have $600. Has the person who came up with this policy been thrown into a mental asylum? If so, why is this law still on the books?

Why is there not one clearly written item either in the bill you send me on this webpage that says who you make the check out to you to pay your excise tax? Also my bill is due July 1 and I just got the bill on the 27th. Getting me almost no time to get this in the mail to you. Maybe you should be a little more competent so that people don’t have to rush things out in the mail the same day they got them in order to get it paid on time .
