§ 5745.041.

Any taxpayer required by section 5745.03 or 5745.04 of the Revised Code to remit tax payments electronically shall remit such payments in the manner prescribed

by the tax commissioner.  Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, the payment of taxes electronically

does not affect a taxpayer's obligation to file reports under this chapter. A taxpayer required to remit taxes electronically may apply to the tax commissioner

in the manner prescribed by the commissioner to be excused from that requirement.  The commissioner may excuse the taxpayer from the requirement for good cause shown

for the period of time requested by the taxpayer or for a portion of that period. If a taxpayer required by this section to remit taxes electronically remits those

taxes by some means other than electronically as prescribed by this section, and the

commissioner determines that such failure was not due to reasonable cause or was due

to willful neglect, the commissioner may collect an additional charge by assessment

in the manner prescribed by section 5745.12 of the Revised Code .  The additional charge shall equal five per cent of the amount of the taxes or estimated

tax payments required to be paid electronically, but shall not exceed five thousand

dollars.  Any additional charge assessed under this section is in addition to any other penalty

or charge imposed under this chapter, and shall be considered as revenue arising from

municipal income taxes collected under this chapter.  The commissioner may remit all or a portion of such a charge and may adopt rules

governing such remission. No additional charge shall be assessed under this section against a taxpayer that

has been notified of its obligation to remit taxes electronically under this section

and that remits its first two tax payments after such notification by some other means.  The additional charge may be assessed upon the remittance of any subsequent tax

payment that the taxpayer remits by some means other than electronically.
