Voluntary Compliance Program

Our Voluntary Compliance Program is designed to help businesses or individuals get into compliance with Minnesota's sales and use tax laws.

You can remain anonymous while investigating whether this program is right for your business. We will not try to identify you in any way. If you decide to participate in the program, you must apply in writing.

Benefits of participating in this program:
  • Possible waiver of some penalties, depending on the specific circumstances.
  • The ability to file returns in a spreadsheet format, when applicable, instead of filing a return for each period involved.
  • An agreement to limit the tax due for only the look back period. The look back period is approximately three years. If you have collected taxes and not reported them for periods beyond the normal look back period, it will be extended to cover those periods. The look back period for voluntary disclosure is shorter than it would be if the Department discovered your noncompliance.
