If you qualify there are no excuses necessary.
Texas Insider Report: AUSTIN Texas Our tax amnesty program is the perfect opportunity for taxpayers to get in compliance said Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar earlier today announcing a temporary tax amnesty program giving certain delinquent taxpayers a chance to make their accounts
compliant with state tax law without incurring penalties and interest on tax due.
The Texas Tax Amnesty Program will run from May 1 to June 29 2018. The program applies to periods prior to Jan. 1 2018 and only includes liabilities that have not been previously reported to the Comptroller.
Maybe you forgot to get a sales tax permit or you inadvertently under-reported taxes owed. If you qualify there are no excuses necessary. You can participate in the coming tax amnesty program and make things right with the state of Texas and with your fellow taxpayers said Hegar.
Passed by the Texas Legislature in 2017 Senate Bill 1 requires the Comptroller of Public Accounts to establish a tax amnesty program to encourage voluntary reporting by:
- Delinquent taxpayers who do not have a Texas Sales and Use Tax Permit or are not registered for a tax or fee administered by the Comptrollers office; and
- Taxpayers who have a permit but may have under reported or owe additional taxes or fees.
The Texas Tax Amnesty Program does not apply to periods currently under audit review IFTA taxes PUC Gross Receipts assessments Local Motor Vehicle Tax and Unclaimed Property payments.
