Sales Tax Amnesty: How Retailers Can Waive Penalties and Settle Past Liabilities Efficiently

  • Sales tax amnesty programs allow businesses to resolve unpaid or underpaid taxes by waiving penalties, interest, and collection fees during a limited window.
  • Illinois is offering a remote retailer amnesty program from August 1 to October 31, 2026, covering liabilities from January 1, 2021, to June 30, 2026, with simplified tax rates.
  • Proper participation in the program waives all penalties and interest, and prevents civil or criminal prosecution for the amnesty period.
  • These programs help remote retailers reduce financial exposure, lower audit risk, and reset compliance before issues escalate.
