Note: The inquiry must contain sufficient factual data to support the probability that local tax has been erroneously allocated and distributed. Sufficient factual data must include, at a minimum, all of the following for each business location being questioned: 1) Taxpayer name, including owner name and fictitious business name or d.b.a. (doing business as) designation. 2) Taxpayer's permit number or a notation stating "no permit number." 3) Complete business address of the taxpayer. 4) Complete description of taxpayer's business activity(ies). 5) Specific reasons and evidence why the taxpayer's allocation is questioned. (In cases where it is submitted that the location of the sale is an unregistered location, evidence that the unregistered location is a selling location, as explained by Regulation 1699, or is a place of business, as defined by Regulation 1802, must be submitted. In cases that involve shipments from an out-of-state location and claims that the tax is sales tax and not use tax, evidence must be submitted that there was participation by an in-state office of the out-of-state retailer and that title to the goods passed in this state.) 6) Name, title, and phone number of the contact person. 7) The tax reporting periods involved.
