South Carolina Failure to Collect or Pay Tax is a civil penalty imposed by the South Carolina Department of Revenue (SCOR) when a taxpayer fails to collect or pay the appropriate amount of tax. There are two main types of South Carolina Failure to Collect or Pay Tax: Failure to Collect Tax and Failure to Pay Tax. Failure to Collect Tax occurs when a taxpayer fails to collect the proper amount of tax from a customer. This could be due to not charging the correct sales tax rate, not charging a use tax, or not properly collecting the full amount of tax due. Failure to Pay Tax occurs when a taxpayer fails to pay the proper amount of tax to the SCOR. This could be due to not filing the tax return, underpaying the amount of tax due, or not making timely payments. Penalties and interest may be assessed for both types of Failure to Collect or Pay Tax.
