This blog deals with the Collection Process from the Florida Sales Tax
The Department of Revenue begins the collection process when a taxpayer fails to file a return, fails to make a payment, underpays the amount due, files late, pays late, or owes additional money that was discovered in an audit.
A delinquency notice (Notice of Delinquency) is issued when a return is not filed and a bill (Notice of Amount Due) is issued when a return is filed late or additional money is due.
The delinquency notice issued to a taxpayer indicates a return has not been filed, while the initial bill contains a breakdown of the additional amount due.
It is extremely important to take prompt action for resolution when you receive a billing or delinquency notice. If you cannot pay the tax in full is your best interest to call a tax professional to help resolve this matter to keep your business active in good standing with the Florida sales tax division.
Penalties and Interest
Penalties and interest continue to accumulate until the entire amount of the tax is paid. If the debt remains unpaid for 90 days, the Department will charge a 10% administrative collection processing fee to cover the costs of collecting the debt. There are avenues in which you can abate penalties and interest and you should call and speak to us about your particular case and see how we can help.
Failure to resolve your debt may result in your account being sent to a private collection agency. If your account is sent to a private collection agency and the debt includes reemployment tax (formerly known as unemployment tax), you will be charged a separate fee by the collection agency.
If you have the money the quickest way to resolve a bill is to pay it online.
If a delinquency notice is received, it is important to file the missing return(s) and pay the tax as soon as possible. If a taxpayer is already enrolled for e-file and pay, they need to submit the missing returns and payments as they normally would.
If not currently on e-file, enrollment for e-Services is easy. A user ID and Password will be sent within 48 hours and then the taxpayer can electronically file and electronically pay past-due returns.
Due you owe the tax???
A taxpayer who believes they received a delinquency notice in error, disagrees with the billing amount due, or has already filed or paid the return or billing in question, should contact the Department immediately to resolve the issue.
Failure to respond to Florida Sales Tax Letters and Notices
Failure to respond timely may result in further enforcement actions which could include:
- filing liens against property,
- freezing bank accounts,
- and revoking sales tax registration and other professional licenses.
If you cannot pay the sales or use tax, contact us today and we can go over the various tax options the State has available to go ahead and pay your back sales tax. So whether you need to file, whether you owe back taxes or are undergoing a sales tax audit, contact us today for expert sales tax representation.
