Who Needs a Sales Tax Relief Attorney?
If you are a business owner or an ex-business owner that owes uncollected or unremitted sales tax to the Georgia Department of Revenue (GDOR), then you are most likely looking for a tax attorney that deals with sales tax.
Considering a Payment Plan?
If you have a substantial amount of sales tax owed to the State, you are probably thinking about getting on a payment plan.
Payment plans are never a one-size-fits-all policy with the State as they tend to be with the IRS.
For example, the IRS will give a taxpayer a 60-month streamline payment plan for debts under $25,000.00, regardless of how much the taxpayer earns.
How Georgia Payment Plans Work
Open Businesses
In the case of sales tax, if your business is currently open, you may get a payment plan between 12-60 months. This depends on:
- How many payment plans you may have had in the past
- The amount due
- Whether you can make a down payment
Closed Businesses
If your business is now closed, you have the most latitude and can hope for a payment plan closer to the 60-month mark.
What If Your Business Is Still Operating?
However, if your business is currently open and you are seeking a payment plan, the State knows that you are also in a mode of desperation and will want to hit you with the most aggressive payment plan possible.
