(a) If any company, without intent to evade the tax imposed by this act, shall fail to file a return or pay the tax, if one is due, at the time required by or under the provisions of this act, but shall voluntarily file a correct return of income or pay the tax due within sixty (60) days thereafter, there shall be added to the tax an additional amount equal to ten percent of the unpaid balance of tax due plus interest at the rate prescribed by K.S.A. 79-2968(a) for each month or fraction of a month from the date the tax was due until paid.
