In an email today, the Department of Revenue provided the following information on the Sales Tax Abatement process:
“Businesses with a liquor license are eligible for an abatement if they have been impacted by COVID-19. They will receive a penalty and interest relief notice with their bill that will provide them with instructions for requesting an abatement.
Although a business with an active liquor license is not allowed a formal payment agreement, they should still contact our Collection Division after they received a bill from us to discuss their payment options.
Legislation was passed this session that allows the commissioner to suspend liquor posting until four months after the Executive Order has terminated. A business will have until the date on the Intent to Liquor Post letter to pay their balance in full to avoid liquor posting. The intent to post letters will not be sent until four months after the Executive Order has terminated."
