Did you know that it is possible to secure relief from various penalties that you may be hit with related to California Sales and Use Tax. There are limitations to this relief, certain criteria must be satisfied to be eligible for relief, and written requests must be made to the California State Board of Equalization to secure relief, but in many cases the effort will be worth it if the Board of Equalization determines that your penalties warrant relief.
Also note that it may also be possible to secure a refund of penalties you have already paid although you should act on this quickly as there are legal time frames called statutes of limitations in which you must file for the refunds and failing to do so in this timely manner as called for under the California sales and use tax law could result in a situation where you would not secure a refund even if it was determined that you would have otherwise qualified for relief. So, timing is very important if the penalties you want to have waived have already been paid. Remember that we are talking about California Sales And Use Tax and this may not be applicable to other states and our information here should not be relied upon for states other than California.
