Waiver request submitted by Jerry Wayne Bell, Mayor/Lake Providence/ East Carroll Parish (Pop. 3,991), regarding a $650 late fee assessed for filing his 2018 Tier 3 annual pfd 13 days late. |
|
Mr. Bell states as follows:
Mr. Bell is seeking a Waiver Request of $650.00 for the late filing of his Tier 3 PFD. Mr. Bell was "under the impression" that he was not required to file a PFD Report since he did not receive any payments as Mayor of Lake Providence/ East Carroll. Once he was notified by the PFD Division, he did file, however it was submitted late. Mr. Bell stated this is his first time holding a public office and he is "simply learning on the fly". This is Mr. Bell's first late fee.
