The Minnesota Department of Revenue has updated its online posting stating that Minnesota businesses are prohibited from purchasing liquor, beer, or wine to resell. The department updates the list each month to reflect companies that have failed to pay taxes to the state.
The department posts a list of active liquor establishments that owe delinquent state taxes and are prohibited from purchasing alcoholic beverages to resell. Distributors are not permitted to sell or deliver to the listed businesses. Once a company pays the taxes owed, we remove it from the list within two business days.
Businesses on the list have delinquent taxes in the following categories: Sales, withholding, partnership, S corporations, and corporate. Minnesota sales and withholding taxes are “trust taxes” in that customers or employees pay these taxes with the expectation that businesses will remit them to the state on their behalf. A company cannot use it as additional operating capital or for any other purpose.
