Sales Tax – Purchasing An Existing Business
At least ten days before you plan to pay for the business or any assets of a business complete and send to the Tax
Department Form AU 196.10, Notification of Sale, Transfer, or Assignment in Bulk and pay the sales tax. (If there are tax liabilities of the old business and of the form is NOT filed, the new owner will be liable for that sales tax into the future. If the form IS filed, the liability is limited to what is known at that period.)
At least 20 days before you acquire all or part of an existing business that will require a sales tax Certificate of
Authority, you must apply for a new certificate.
Who Must Register for a Sales Tax Identification Number?
A VENDOR is any person who makes taxable sales of goods or services within the state or who accepts or issues
an exemption certificate. If you need a Sales Tax Identification number you must apply online to Register for a Sales Tax Certificate of Authority. The application form DTF-17 is available online at OPAL.
