Third-party access to a taxpayer’s account

Just a reminder that a third-party representative can get access to a client’s MassTaxConnect account. A third party initiates the process through MassTaxConnect and the taxpayer will be asked to approve the request. You can learn more about third-party access on the DOR website and by viewing the video tutorial.

New AP on tobacco seizure procedures released

For information about the rules for when DOR seizes tobacco products, look no further than AP 114.3: Procedures for the Seizure of Tobacco Products. This new administrative procedure outlines what steps DOR takes, as well as the appeal rights a person has for both the seizure and any license revocation or suspension that may result from the seizure.

It’s time to renew those tobacco licenses

Heads up for all tobacco retailers and distributors – the renewal process for your tobacco license is now open on MassTaxConnect. All current licenses are set to expire on Sept. 30, 2022. Log in to MassTaxConnect to start your renewal.
