Saint Paul – A Minnesota Department of Revenue website featuring a list of Minnesota businesses that have failed to file and/or pay sales tax has collected more than $124,000 in its first weeks on-line. Minnesota is the only state to list businesses that are not in compliance. So far, four businesses have paid the sales tax owed to the state, in full. “This is exactly the type of success we were hoping for by putting this list on our website,” said Revenue Commissioner Ward Einess. “It is important that every individual and business pay the state exactly what is owed. Customers paying sales tax trust these businesses to comply with the law.” The Minnesota Department of Revenue launched the website in an effort to bring delinquent debtors into compliance and inform the public that these businesses cannot make taxable sales. The department is able to list the businesses at no cost to taxpayers. When a business pays sales tax in full it is immediately removed from the list and the sales tax permit is reinstated. To view the list on-line: Go to: www.taxes.state.mn.us Select “Collection Division” on the left side of the screen Select “Revoked Sales Tax Permits” on the right side of the screen Minnesota sales tax is a ”trust tax.” Customers who pay sales tax trust and expect businesses to send it to the state on their behalf. It must not be used by a business as additional operating capital or for any other purpose. If an individual or business makes retail sales in Minnesota after revocation of a Minnesota sales tax permit, the action is considered a felony under Minnesota law. ###
