Waiver request submitted by Michael Guillot, member of the South Central Planning Commission, regarding a $400 late fee assessed for filing his 2011 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 8 days late. |
|
Mr. Guillot appears to be confused by the statute requirements. Mr. Guillot filed a report in 2011 with a date covering calendar year 2011. This report was accepted as his 2010 report since when a filer files they report for the previous calendar year. Mr. Guillot still maintains that this was his 2011 report even though it would be impossible to report for the entire 2011 calendar year in May 2011.
