Unpaid State Sales Tax Exposes Your Company, and You Personally, to Substantial Penalties and Possible Closure.
TAX PROBLEM: You Have Collected State Sales Taxes but have Failed to Forward Them to Local or State Tax Collection Agencies. As a business, you are not only required to collect sales tax on the goods and services you provide your customers, you are also required to report what you have collected and forward those sums to the appropriate state agency. If you do not, you are liable for repayment or additional damages that include fines and extra fees. Besides the fact that it’s outright fraud, even if the crime isn't malicious, the consequences are significant – the state can seize a company’s assets when they don’t remit. In states where the seller never filed a sales tax return, there’s no statute of limitations on audits and no limit on the lookback period. Bottom line is if you don’t satisfy a state’s sales tax obligation, it can have a significant effect on your business and personal finances, including your credit.
CONSEQUENCE: If You Neglect to Forward the State Sales Tax You have Collected, Your Business could be Closed!
When you don’t send the taxes collected on behalf of the State, you have problems. Most states are aggressive in their efforts to collect this revenue that belongs to them. To begin with, penalty and interest that is charged on unpaid balances can be from 5% to as high as 50% of the balance due. Your sales tax license can be revoked due to unpaid state sales tax and could result in closure. But wait, there’s more...
The State has the right to make those who were responsible for not properly filing and paying the taxes liable for the tax debt as individuals!
This includes company owners, officers, or a bookkeeper responsible for tax reporting. And get this…even if the company closes, the tax debt is still owed, is not able to be discharged by bankruptcy, and any liens filed are in the name of both the business and the individual.
