TEXAS COMPTROLLER PAYMENT PLANS TO RESOLVE BACK TAXES

The state of Texas is not easy to deal with when it comes to business back-tax liabilities.  We recommend acting quickly to resolve your tax debt directly with the Comptroller’s office.  Otherwise, your case can be sent to the Attorney General’s office and you could face Civil Action.  

Setting up a payment plan to satisfy your business sales tax debt with the Texas Comptroller is a good option but not so easy to come by due to the strict guidelines.  To be considered for an installment agreement, you can expect - 

• to maintain current tax compliance
• to provide credit references
• to provide loan denial letters, and
• to pay a 25% down payment

To make it even more difficult, it is not uncommon for the TX-Comptroller to require a bond and personal guarantee while an installment agreement is being paid.  Once you have satisfied all the stipulations to be eligible, you will have to personally appear in the Comptroller’s office to have your payment plan formally approved.

Offer in Compromise

Penalty Relief

You can request the waiver of penalties on your tax debt under very strict conditions.   Here are some key points you need to know about Texas penalty abatement:

• The Comptroller’s office will not consider releasing any penalties until the tax portion of your debt has been paid in full.  
• Waiver of penalties must be requested within 4 years of the taxes being due.
• Your business is not eligible for penalty relief if a penalty waiver has been granted in the past 2 years.
• Comptroller’s office will require a detailed plan explaining preventative measures taken to ensure future tax compliance. 
• Request your waiver of penalties within 4 years of the original due date.

In summary, the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts is not very forgiving, but there are some relief options available if – 

• you are not a repeat offender, 
• you have paid the tax, and 
• you can meet the required stipulations
