RULE §3.286Seller's and Purchaser's Responsibilities

  (1) Permit cancellation due to abandonment. Any holder of a sales and use tax permit who reported no business activity in the previous calendar year is deemed to have abandoned the sales and use tax permit, and the comptroller may cancel the sales and use tax permit. "No business activity" means zero total sales, zero taxable sales, and zero taxable purchases.

  (2) Re-application. If a sales and use tax permit is cancelled, the person may reapply and obtain a new sales and use tax permit upon request, provided the issuance is not prohibited by subsection (m) of this section, or by Tax Code, §111.0046.

(o) Liability related to acquisition of a business or assets of a business. Tax Code, §111.020 (Tax Collection on Termination of Business) and §111.024 (Liability in Fraudulent Transfers), provides that the comptroller may impose a tax liability on a person who acquires a business or the assets of a business. See §3.7 of this title (relating to Successor Liability: Liability Incurred by Purchase of a Business).

(p) Criminal penalties. Tax Code, Chapter 151, imposes criminal penalties for certain prohibited activities or for failure to comply with certain provisions under the law. See §3.305 of this title (relating to Criminal Offenses and Penalties).
