Minnesota Revenue Department revokes sales tax permit of Lake Mille Lacs resort
The Minnesota Department of Revenue today (Sept. 25) indicated that it had recently revoked the sales tax permit of Christenson Development Inc., doing business as Mille Lacs Resort and Marina for failing to pay sales tax to the state.
According to the department, the marina and golf course located on Captive Lake Road in Garrison failed to pay sales taxes for a number of months in both 2007 and 2008 and also failed to fail a state sales tax returns for July 2008.
The department notes that the state’s sales tax is a “trust tax.” That is, customers pay the tax with the idea the business will remit them to the state.
The tax money cannot be used by the business for operational expenses or for any other purpose, the department notes.
It’s a felony for a company to make retail sales in Minnesota after revocation of their Minnesota sales tax permit, the department notes.
