As a result of late report and payment submissions to the Internal Revenue Service in 2016, 2017, and 2018, Huntsville incurred untimely remittance penalties and interest charges totaling $9,316.24. Auditors noted, “These incurred costs were unnecessary expenditures that did not serve a proper public purpose and could have been avoided had the submissions been remitted by the required due date.”
