TAX CERTIFICATION ON LICENSE APPLICATIONS

By law (32 V.S.A. Section 3113), no agency of the State may renew a license or other authority to conduct a trade of business (including a license to practice a profession) unless the licensee first certifies, under the pains and penalties of perjury, that he or she is in good standing with the Department of Taxes. A person is in good standing if no taxes are due, if the liability for any tax that may be due is on appeal, if the taxpayer is in compliance with a payment plan approved by the Commissioner of Taxes, or if the licensing authority determines that immediate payment of taxes due and payable would pose an unreasonable hardship.

The maximum penalty for perjury is fifteen (15) years in prison, a $10,000 fine or both.

I hereby certify, under the pains and penalties of perjury, that I am in good standing with respect to, or in full compliance with a plan approved by the Commissioner of Taxes to pay, any and all taxes due the State of Vermont as of the date of this application.

through a payment plan approved by the Commissioner or otherwise;(3) seek a determination from the licensing agency that immediate payment of taxes

due and payment would impose an unreasonable hardship.

IF YOU DESIRE TO CONTINUE THIS APPLICATION, you should complete the statement below.

ALTERNATE CERTIFICATION
