Waiver request submitted by Jimmy Paul Lafont, Greater Lafourche Port Commission / Division C, regarding a $300 late fee assessed for filing his amended 2022 Tier 2 annual pfd 3 days late. |
|
|
Due to a 2-year amendment request, Jimmy P. Lafont had to wait on filing information from his CPA. Extenuating circumstances relating to critical doctor appointments out of town, the Labor Day holiday, and mail service delays are factors to consider. The post office could not guarantee next-day service due to the holidays, which caused a 3-day delay in submitting the disclosure. He feels this is not a huge delay due to these hindrances in a timely delivery.
