Defining Business Sales tax lien

A Business Sales tax lien is a notice or public record issued To Whom It May Concern, stating that the State has a right to your assets. It would alert creditors as well that the State has a legal interest in your property for failure to pay your tax. This record is filed for failure to remit outstanding tax.

The Notification process

Typically, the Business Sales tax lien is not filed until the State has sent you a series of notices regarding your outstanding payments.

First, the state will issue you a notice about your outstanding business sales tax debts. Next, it will issue a notice about the intent to file a tax lien.

Finally, once the sales tax lien has been officially filed as a public record, the state will send to your business address, a certified notice about this development.

How do tax liens affect your credit?

After a tax lien is filed, it will show up on your credit report, thereby hurting your business credit score and will ultimately make it difficult for your business to seek additional loans.

However, due to new policies, a tax lien might not appear in your commercial credit report, but it can still harm your credit score and will be available to creditors.
