(b) The application of such credit, however:
(c) If any taxes paid to another jurisdiction for which a taxpayer has been allowed a credit under this section are at any time credited or refunded to the taxpayer, such fact shall be reported by the taxpayer to the department within twenty days after the credit or refund.

A tax equal to the credit allowed for the taxes so credited or refunded shall be due and payable from the taxpayer upon notice and demand from the department. If the amount of such tax is not paid within ten days from the date of the notice and demand, the taxpayer shall be subject to the usual penalties and interest for delinquency in payment.
