Creating a voluntary disclosure program within the department of revenue.
SB 5806 creates a voluntary tax disclosure program allowing unregistered taxpayers to come forward, pay overdue taxes without penalties or interest, and register permanently. It directly affects businesses or individuals who engaged in taxable activities without proper registration but have not committed fraud or evasion. To qualify, applicants must submit a registration application before department contact, disclose all past taxable activity, and attest under penalty of perjury. The program runs from July 1 to September 30, 2025, and does not apply to taxes already paid before July 1, 2025, or to unremitted sales taxes collected from buyers.
