STATEMENT OF CASE

This matter came before the Utah State Tax Commission upon Petitioner's Petition for Redetermination filed on XXXXX, in which Petitioner requested that the decision be based on the information which Petitioner presented instead of a hearing. A Status Conference was scheduled in this matter on XXXXX, Jane Phan, Administrative Law Judge, heard the matter for and on behalf of the Commission. Present and representing Respondent were XXXXX and XXXXX. Although duly notified of the Status Conference Petitioner did not attend.

Because Petitioner had requested not to have a hearing in this matter and instead have the decision based on the information provided, Respondent's Motion to Dismiss for Petitioner's default in failing to appear at the Status Conference is denied.

However, Petitioner has not provided sufficient information to support a finding in Petitioner's favor.

DECISION AND ORDER

Based upon the information presented in the file and the records of the Tax Commission, the Commission denies Respondent's Motion to Dismiss and also denies Petitioner's appeal relating to the Amended Utah Sales and Use Tax Audit dated XXXXX for the audit period of XXXXX through XXXXX.

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:
