(b)An extension under this subsection may be granted only where it is shown to the satisfaction of the commission that the payment of a deficiency upon the date fixed for the payment thereof will result in undue hardship to the taxpayer.
(c)No extension may be granted if the deficiency is due to negligence, to intentional disregard of rules, or to fraud with intent to evade tax.
(3)An extension of time for payment of any portion of a claim for an unpaid tax under this chapter, allowed in bankruptcy or receivership proceedings, may be had in the same manner and subject to the same provisions and limitations as provided in Subsection
