On or before the thirty-first day of March in each year, the tax commissioner shall provide
each company assessed under the provisions of this chapter a statement of its taxes due for the
preceding year, with the valuations and taxes assessed in each case. Such taxes are due upon
the fifteenth day of April next following the date of the statement of taxes due. The taxes

the principal of the unpaid taxes must be charged until such taxes and penalties are paid, with
such interest charges to be prorated to the nearest full month for a fractional year of
delinquency. All the provisions of the law respecting delinquency of personal property
assessments generally so far as may be consistent with the provisions of this chapter are
applicable equally to the assessments and taxes provided for in this chapter.
