Bayer Corp. could soon get a formal request from Kanawha County officials for almost $91,000 in taxes erroneously refunded to it more than five years ago.
Kanawha County Commission President Kent Carper says commissioners will be asked on Thursday to send the company a bill for $90,907.
Bayer had challenged the tax assessments against its Kanawha County operations, but lost.
In November, the West Virginia Supreme Court upheld a lower court ruling that overturned the commission's decision to grant Bayer relief for taxes paid in 2001, 2002 and 2003.
Justices also rejected two appeals filed by Bayer that claimed the state tax commissioner had over-assessed its South Charleston and Institute facilities in 2006 and 2007.
