STATEMENT OF CASE
This
matter came before the Utah State Tax Commission for a Settlement Conference
pursuant to the provisions of Utah Code Ann. §59-1-502.5, on XXXXX. Gail S. Reich, Administrative Law Judge,
heard the matter for and on behalf of the Commission. Present and representing Petitioner by telephone was XXXXX. Present and representing Respondent was
XXXXX of the Collection Division.
Petitioner
is requesting a waiver of interest in the amount of $$$$$ for sales tax for the
XXXXX quarter of XXXXX. The penalty of
$$$$$ has already been waived by the Collection Division based on erroneous application
of penalty and interest. Respondent has
recommended that the interest be waived under the circumstances.
APPLICABLE LAW
The
Tax Commission is granted the authority to waive, reduce, or compromise
penalties and interest upon a showing of reasonable cause. (Utah Code Ann. §59-1-401(8).)
DECISION AND ORDER
Based
upon the information presented at the conference, and the records of the Tax
Commission, the Commission finds sufficient cause has been shown to waive the interest
assessed for the XXXXX quarter of XXXXX sales tax.
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

Petitioner's name, address, and appeal number:
