A.  If a tax collector transmits payment to a taxing authority which is subsequently determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to be the incorrect taxing authority to have received payment, the tax collector shall withhold an amount equal to the amount transmitted to the erroneous taxing authority from future payments due the incorrect taxing authority.  The tax collector shall transmit in accordance with the provisions of La. Rev. Stat. 47:2060 all collections withheld pursuant to this Section to the taxing authority which should have received the payment until the entire amount of taxes erroneously paid is recovered by the appropriate taxing authority.

B.  In the event the tax collector fails or neglects to transmit payment as provided for in this Section, the tax collector shall forfeit the commission allowed him.
