It's astounding how inept Utah is. The other governments all have competent people working there who have intelligence and are able to do their jobs. In any of those states they wouldn't have taken the full cost and would have refunded the funds.

The state of Utah's government bureaucracy is horrible to work with.

Brutal. I'd demand to speak to bosses until someone could fix it.

Did you actually owe the $8,000 in sales tax? If not, why would you agree to pay

I understand that I wrote this in a hurry and wasn't clear, but re read haha

Just did. Still don't see the answer to that question. Was it a legitimate debt?

The sales tax piece was somewhere around 4, some of it was miscellaneous stuff

I'm not convinced the debt was legit. They will assume your business owed $xx

Yeah, I bet he owed a lot less than that if he would have filed correctly.

Yeah, there was a lot of settling going on from both sides. I saw $4,000,

You're good. Just being a dink here. Sorry about your business. That really sucks.

CDV

Valid settlement was $6,198, agreed to by both parties in writing.

Then you need to move this up the chain until you get the $400 back. If you have

Agreed. They initially said "no chance." I yelled at a couple people (unlike me)

If the business was bankrupt, why pay anything?

Ragnar Danneskjold

I agree haha. I had to settle, got stuck.

I am pretty sure that the responsible party can be held personally liable for failing to remit taxes, regardless

I imagine fighting it would be costly on many levels as well.

No, I'm pretty good with law stuff. I don't think you know what you're talking about.

Silver lining: it's not California. They would have drained your bank accounts
