Unsecured taxes remaining unpaid at 5 p.m., or the close of business, whichever is later, on the last day of the second month after the 10-percent penalty attaches shall be subject to an additional penalty of 112 percent attaching on the first day of each succeeding month on the amount of the original tax.
