The clerk noted that the warrant was in regards to sales tax.
“Sales tax is collected by businesses on behalf of state and local governments,” the clerk explained. “So when a business doesn’t remit that sales tax, then we will bill the business and we’ll usually bill the business a couple of times.”
“Generally we’ll call the business,” he told Radar. “Sometimes we’ll have representatives visit the business to try to get them on track, and then if none of that succeeds the next step is to go to a tax warrant collection process.”
“A tax warrant is basically a lien,” the clerk concluded. “It gives us the authority to pursue collections actions, seize bank accounts and other financial assets as well as off set refunds.”
