Waiver request submitted by Leland Paul Adams, Sr., Constable / District 5A / Concordia Parish, regarding a $1500 late fee assessed for filing his amended 2018 Tier 3 annual PFD 38 days late. |
|
Leland P. Adams is asking for a waiver for failing to amend his 2018 PFD Statement timely for the following reasons:
Mr. Adams stated that he thought that due to the Covid-19 Pandemic that extension had been put into place, for when he received his Notice of Delinquency on March 16, 2020. Mr. Adams stated he cannot afford to pay his late fee assessment.
Mr. Adams has amended his 2018 PFD Statement and it has been deemed as compliant. This is Mr. Adams' first late fee.
