§ 297A.85 — Cancellation of Permits

Plain-Language Summary

The commissioner may cancel a sales tax permit when any one of several conditions occurs: the holder has not filed a sales or use tax return for at least one year, has reported no sales or use tax liability for at least two years, or asks to have the permit canceled. A permit may also be canceled when it becomes subject to cancellation under cross-referenced tax sections, or when a taxable cannabis product retailer (other than a licensed lower-potency hemp edible retailer) has its cannabis license revoked by the Office of Cannabis Management.

Practical Notes
This section lists the specific grounds for cancellation: no return filed for at least one year, no tax liability reported for at least two years, the holder’s own request, cancellation triggered under another tax statute, or revocation of a cannabis retailer’s license. Cancellation is permissive (the commissioner “may” cancel), and most grounds turn on prolonged non-filing or non-reporting rather than any single missed return.
