The State Board of Equalization, if not satisfied with a return or the amount of sales tax, may compute and determine the amount required to be paid, as specified. Existing law provides that if the board finds that a qualifying retailer's failure to make a timely return or payment is due to reasonable cause and circumstances beyond its control, as provided, the qualifying retailer shall be relieved of specified penalties. Existing law additionally provides that requests for the relief of those penalties shall be filed under penalty of perjury. This bill would revise the definition of a "qualifying retailer" to include a retailer that had gross receipts of less than $1,000,000 in the previous 4 calendar quarters. By requiring the qualifying retailer to file certain information under penalty of perjury, thereby expanding the crime of perjury, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason. The Personal Income Tax Law and the Corporation Tax Law impose various penalties for failure to file specified returns. Existing law authorizes the Franchise Tax Board to enter into voluntary disclosure agreements, as specified, with any qualified entity, qualified shareholder, qualified member, or a qualified beneficiary of a qualified trust, as defined, that permits, under the authority of the voluntary disclosure agreement, the Franchise Tax Board to waive its authority to assess taxes, additions to taxes, fees, or penalties, as described. This bill would expand the above authorization to allow the Franchise Tax Board to enter into voluntary disclosure agreements with out-of-state limited partnerships and qualified small businesses, as defined, and would revise the definition of qualified trust to allow the trust to have resident beneficiaries, as provided.
