Texas sales tax delinquent

[Nolacycling 893]

I owned a business 13 years ago and today received a letter from Ken Paxton that I have 10 days to respond. I did walk away from the owed sales taxes.

Is this still collectable by the State or will they sell it off to a collector?

They may lien you up, collection agent or no.  That could be a bad deal.

How much did you steal?

[HRSchenker 2275]

Does John Mueller still post here?

[StruggleBus 3922]

How much are we talking here? 10k? 100k? More?

The answer to that would alter how concerned I'd be.

So you COLLECTED the sales tax, you just failed to REMIT it to the state. There's a word for that.

Fucked.

Can I not pay property taxes since my kids arent in school?

Out of curiosity, was this business a BBQ trailer?

[blacklab 11957]

I can tell you those people are dicks, will not settle for less and will come seize shit that they think you might own and keep it till they get paid.

Best hope is to get on a payment plan if you can't pay the full amount.

Only took them 13 years to catch you. Ken Paxton is awesome

[Updawg 2286]

13 years of interest and penalties. No need to hurry

What's the amount owed before penalties, interest and what not?

I don't know the details in Texas, but there has to be a statute of limitations involved here.   I would call a tax attorney.

 

Seems nuts to be coming after you 13 years down the road.

[Viper 12112]

I'm not a lawyer but I think the statute of limitations is different if it's a filing mistake vs fraud or not filing a return at all

Change your name.

Pick a new profession. Cinnabon Manager maybe?

I hear Omaha is nice.

This is not legal advice.  Also, they won't let you change your name to commit fraud.

Is it fraud if you tell them you're not changing your name to commit fraud?

Probably.  Like fraud squared.  But it's perjury at the very least.

They are going to want interest too. Whatever happens, validate every penny they say you owe. I’ve been involved with corporate sales tax audits and have successfully renegotiated some of the bull shit extrapolations the tax auditors proposed based on limited point of sale data.

I'm speaking in terms of Alabama law.  I'd think Texas is similar.  They have established a liability within their statute of limitations. Because the liability was assessed when it was within statute, you are still liable.  You owe the tax/interest/penalties.  Call them to set up a payment plan or close all of your in state bank accounts, sell all off your in state property, or move north and/or west and don't leave a forwarding address.  They'll put liens on any property they know that you own and garnish any bank accounts that you have.

And as previously stated, if you collected the tax and didn't remit it to the state, you're a thief
