How to request for Sales Tax Refunds

A permitted purchaser – the purchaser of a taxable item or service – who held a sales tax permit at the time they paid sales tax in error can:

  • ask the seller for a refund of the tax paid in error, or
  • amend the sales tax return for the period in which the tax was paid in error, or

A permitted purchaser who did not hold a sales tax permit at the time the tax was paid in error can ask the seller for a refund of tax paid in error or file the refund claim directly with the Comptroller’s office.
