STATEMENT OF CASE

This is a Decision from an Informal Hearing regarding the sales tax license revocation of XXXXX, c/o XXXXX, Respondent, requested by the Collection Division of the Utah State Tax Commission, Petitioner.

The Sales Tax License Revocation Hearing was held on XXXXX, in the offices of the Utah State Tax Commission. James E.

After reviewing the evidence presented and the written documentation submitted, the Commission makes the following determinations:

1. Respondent was issued a sales tax license No. XXXXX in c/o XXXXX.

3. Respondent did not properly remit the full amount of sales tax collected each quarter.

4. The Respondent claims to have money coming and will take care of taxes when the money comes.

6. Although the Utah State Tax Commission is vested with authority to revoke the license of "any person violating any provision of this [Sales Tax] Act . . .." Utah Code Ann. Sec. § 59-15-3 (1953), it has decided not to revoke the license of Respondent at this time provided:
