Based upon the evidence presented the Tax Commission makes its:

FINDINGS OF FACT

1. The tax in question is sales tax.

2. The period in question is the third quarter XXXXX.

3. The Petitioner paid the third quarter for XXXXX on XXXXX. As a result, penalty in the amount of $$$$$ was assessed as well as interest of $$$$$.
