The operator shall be responsible for the collection of the tax from the occupant and shall be liable to the Town of Fort Gibson for the tax.
It shall be the duty of every operator required to make a return and pay any tax under this Subchapter to keep and preserve suitable records of the gross daily rentals together with other pertinent records and documents which may be necessary to determine the amount of tax due hereunder and such other records as will substantiate and prove the accuracy of such returns.

The burden of proving that a sale was not a taxable sale shall be upon the operator who made the sale.
A. The tax levied hereunder shall be due and payable to the Town of Fort Gibson on the first day or each month, except as herein provided, by any person liable for payment of any tax due under this Subchapter. For the purpose of ascertaining the amount of the tax payable under this Subchapter, it shall be the duty of all operators, on or before the fifteenth (15th) day of each month, to deliver to the Town of Fort Gibson Town Clerk, upon forms prescribed and furnished by him, returns, under oath, showing the gross receipts or gross proceeds arising from rents received from occupancy of hotel rooms during the preceding calendar month. Such returns shall show such further information as the Fort Gibson Town Clerk may require to correctly compute and collect the tax herein levied. In addition to the information required on returns, the Fort Gibson Town Clerk may request, and the operator shall furnish any information deemed necessary for a correct computation of the tax levied. Such operator shall compute and remit to the Fort Gibson Town Clerk the required tax due for the preceding calendar month. The remittance or remittances of the tax shall accompany the returns herein required. If not paid on or before the fifteenth (15th) of such month, the tax shall be delinquent after such date; provided that no interest or penalty shall be charged on such return if filed on or before the twentieth (20th) of such month. B. The Fort Gibson Town Clerk may permit or require returns to be made by shorter or longer periods and upon such dates as he may specify. The form of return shall be prescribed by the Fort Gibson Town Clerk and shall contain such information as he may deem necessary for the proper administration of this Subchapter. The Fort Gibson Town Clerk may require amended returns to be filed within twenty (20) days after notice, and the amended return shall contain the information specified in the notice.
At the time of filing a return of occupancy and of rents, each operator shall pay to the Fort Gibson Town Clerk the taxes imposed by this Subchapter upon the rents included in such return, as well as all other monies collected by the operator acting or purporting to act under the provisions of this Subchapter.
The operator shall separately designate, charge, and show all taxes on all bills, statements, receipts, or any other evidence of charges or payment or rent for occupancy issued or delivered by the operator.
Where the Fort Gibson Town Clerk believes that any operator is about to cease business, leave the State, or remove or dissipate assets, or for any other similar reason he deems it necessary in order to protect the revenues under this Subchapter, he may require such operator to file with the Town of Fort Gibson a bond issued by a surety company authorized to transact business in this State in such amount as the Fort Gibson Town Clerk may fix to secure the payment of any tax or penalties and interest due, or which may become due, from such operator. In the event that the Fort Gibson Town Clerk determines that an operator is to file such bond, he shall give notice to such operator specifying the amount of bond required, which shall in no event exceed twice the amount of the sum in controversy. The operator shall file such bond within five (5) days after receiving such notice unless within five (5) days the operator shall request in writing a hearing before the Fort Gibson Board of Trustees, at which time the necessity and amount of the bond shall be determined by the Fort Gibson Board of Trustees. Such determination shall be final and shall be complied within fifteen (15) days thereafter. In lieu of such bond, securities approved by the Fort Gibson Town Clerk, or cash in such amount as he may prescribe, may be deposited with the Fort Gibson Town Clerk who may at any time after five (5) days’ notice to the depositor, apply them to any tax or any penalties due and for that purpose the securities may be sold at private or public sale.
A. If a return required by this Subchapter is not filed, or if a return when filed is incorrect or insufficient, the amount of the tax due shall be assessed by the Fort Gibson Town Clerk from such information as may be obtained and, if necessary, the tax may be estimated on the basis of external indices, such as: 1. Number of rooms; 2. Location; 3. Scale of rents; 4. Comparable rents; 5. Types of accommodations and services; 6. Number of employees; or 7. Other factors. B. Written notice of such assessments shall be given to the person liable for the collection and payment of the tax. Such assessment shall finally and irrevocably fix and determine the tax, unless the person against whom it is assessed, within ninety (90) days after the giving of notice of such assessment, shall apply in writing to the Fort Gibson Board of Trustees for a hearing, or unless the Fort Gibson Town Clerk upon his own initiative shall reassess the same. After such hearing, the Fort Gibson Board of Trustees shall give written notice of its determination to the person against whom the tax is assessed, and such determination shall be final.
A. The Fort Gibson Town Clerk shall refund or credit any tax erroneously, illegally, or unconstitutionally collected if written application to the Fort Gibson Town Clerk for such refund shall be made within ninety (90) days from the payment thereof. For like causes, and in the same period, a refund may be made upon the initiative and the order of the Fort Gibson Town Clerk. Whenever a refund is made, the reasons therefore shall be stated in writing. Such application may be made by the person upon whom such tax was imposed and who has actually paid the tax. Such application may also be made by the person who has collected and paid such tax to the Fort Gibson Town Clerk provided that the application is made within ninety (90) days of the payment by the occupant to the operator, but no refund of money shall be made to the operator until he has repaid to the occupant the amount for which the application for refund is made. The Fort Gibson Town Clerk, in lieu of any refund required to be made, may allow credit therefore on payments due from the applicant. B. Upon application for a refund the Fort Gibson Town Clerk may receive evidence with respect thereof and make such investigation as he deems necessary. After making a determination as to the refund, the Fort Gibson Town Clerk shall give notice thereof to the applicant. Such determination shall be final unless the applicant within ninety (90) days after such notice shall apply in writing to the Fort Gibson Board of Trustees for a hearing. After such hearing the Fort Gibosn Board of Trustees shall give written notice of its decision to the applicant.
Notices provided for under this Subchapter shall be deemed to have been given when such notice has been delivered personally to the operator or deposited in the United States mail addressed to the last known address of the operator.

Each certificate or duplicate shall state the hotel to which it is applicable.

Such certificates shall be non-assignable and non-transferable and shall be surrendered immediately to the Fort Gibson Town Clerk upon cessation of business at the hotel or upon its sale or transfer.
