(Decisions are unanimous unless otherwise noted.)
1. Budget Dumpster, LLC of Westlake, OH claims $88,518.58 for refund of sales/use taxes levied by DOR. Claimant contracts with third parties to provide waste removal services for customers in Wisconsin. Claimant alleges that it registered for a Wisconsin seller’s permit in 2011, but later determined a permit was not necessary because taxable services were not being provided. Claimant did not cancel the permit and did not file sales/use tax returns in Wisconsin. DOR eventually sent estimated assessments in 2018, 2019, and 2020. In June 2021, DOR began levying funds to cover the assessments. Claimant started working with MCE Salt Solutions LLP (a sales and use tax consulting firm) in March 2022. MCE confirmed with DOR that Claimant’s services were not taxable. Claimant indicates that the permit was cancelled at that time, and in-process assessments were closed. Claimant sought to recover the funds that had been levied but was advised by DOR those refunds would not be released until income/franchise returns were filed. Claimant filed and paid the tax returns in July and August 2022, totaling $23,293.00. At that time, Claimant was not aware that the funds would not be fully refunded. Claimant received refunds in 2022 for the periods of 12/31/19 to 12/31/21, totaling approximately $12,000, but was notified by DOR that per Wis. Stat. § 77.59(4)(b), the statute of limitations (SOL) had closed for the tax periods ending 3/31/2011 to 9/30/2019. Claimant disagrees and believes the SOL for applying for a refund does not close until June 2023, because the funds were levied (i.e., paid) in June 2021. Claimant holds it had no reason to apply for a refund by September 2020 (the SOL calculated by DOR), because levies did not begin until June 2021. Claimant further believes that the remaining levied AMEX funds should be refunded based on “compromise” authority available to DOR.
