SF 80 Wyoming House · 2026 Regular Session

Department of revenue-electronic communication.

This bill allows Wyoming's Department of Revenue to send certain tax notices electronically instead of by mail, provided taxpayers have provided electronic contact information. It directly affects businesses and individuals who pay sales and use taxes by changing how the department delivers notices about delinquent returns, penalties, or unpaid balances. Key provisions amend multiple tax code sections to replace "written notice by mail" with "electronic notice" where taxpayers have opted in, while maintaining the requirement for written notices via mail in other cases. The change takes effect July 1, 2026.

MINOR
This bill updates Wyoming's sales and use tax laws to allow the Department of Revenue to send notices electronically if a taxpayer provides an email address, replacing the previous requirement to mail all notices. It also clarifies that notices sent via mail to an address on file are sufficient. The bill does not change the tax rates, who pays taxes, or the penalties for non-compliance, but it modernizes communication methods to improve efficiency.
Scope change
The bill's scope remains focused on sales and use tax administration, but the method of communication for official notices has expanded to include electronic delivery.
REQUIREMENT

Replaced the mandatory requirement for all tax notices to be sent by physical mail with a rule allowing electronic delivery if the taxpayer provides an email address.

Clarified that sending a notice by mail to an address on file is still considered sufficient for legal purposes.

Added specific language authorizing the department to provide written notice electronically when the taxpayer's contact information includes an electronic communication option.
