This legislation imposes a licensing requirement for persons required to collect withholding tax. It requires an applicant to post a bond with the Commission prior to obtaining a sales tax, withholding tax or fuel tax license if any of the principals have been a responsible party for another person that is delinquent in, or had a license revoked for delinquency in the tax they are applying for. The bill increases bond amounts for withholding, sales, and fuels licenses to a minimum of $50,000 and a maximum of $500,000. The bond amount is based on estimates of the applicant’s tax liability plus any delinquencies or revocations of the principals.
If a person that is required to collect a tax as stated in this bill engages in business within the state before obtaining a license, that person is guilty of a criminal violation. This license shall be granted and issued by the Commission without a license fee if an applicant states the applicant’s name and address or any other pertinent information in the application that the Commission may require. The license may not be assigned to another person and must be valid only for the person named on the license until that person ceases to do business, changes the business address, or the Commission revokes the license.
The Commission shall revoke a license if a licensee violates any requirement of this bill. If the Commission revokes a licensee’s license, the Commission may not issue another license to that licensee until they comply with these requirements, including paying any tax, penalty, or interest due, or by posting a bond.
