STATEMENT OF CASE

This matter came before the Utah State Tax Commission for a Prehearing Conference. However, upon discussion among the parties, it was then converted to a Settlement Conference to be heard pursuant to the provisions of Utah Code Ann. §59-1-502.5. The hearing was held on XXXXX. G. Blaine Davis, Administrative Law Judge, heard the matter for and on behalf of the Commission. Present and representing Petitioner was XXXXX, of the XXXXX XXXXX. Present and representing Respondent was XXXXX from the Collection Division.

The petitioner was late in making the electronic payment due for its XXXXX sales tax. The payment was due on XXXXX in an amount of $$$$$. Because of the XXXXX, the next working day was XXXXX. The money was electronically transmitted to the Tax Commission on XXXXX at XXXXX.

Upon review of the matter by the Collection Division, they recommended that the penalty be waived.

DECISION AND ORDER

Based upon the information presented at the settlement conference, and the records of the Tax Commission, the Commission finds sufficient cause has been shown to waive the penalty, but sufficient cause has not been shown to waive the interest for the XXXXX sales tax return.

This decision does not limit a party's right to a formal hearing. However, this Decision and Order will become the Final Decision and Order of the Commission unless any party to this case files a written request within thirty (30) days of the date of this decision to proceed to a Formal Hearing. Such a request shall be mailed to the address listed below and must include the Petitioner's name, address, and appeal number:
