Indiana Code — Title 6 (Taxation)
IC 6-2.5-6-12
Security for payment of tax collected
Sec. 12.
# (a)
Whenever the department feels it necessary to insure the payment of the state gross retail or use taxes, the department may require a retail merchant to post security for that payment in any amount not to exceed twice the department's estimate of the retail merchant's quarterly state gross retail and use tax liability.
# (b)
If necessary to recover any tax, interest, or penalty which the retail merchant owes under this article, the department may sell the security. If the security is in the form of a bearer bond which is issued by a governmental unit and which has a prevailing market price, the department may sell the security at a private sale for not less than that market price. If the security is in any other form, the department shall sell it at a public auction.
# (c)
Before the department may sell a retail merchant's security, the department shall give the retail merchant notice of the time, place, and date of the sale. The department shall send the notice by certified mail to the retail merchant's most recent address according to the department's records.
# (d)
If the proceeds of the security sale exceed the tax, interest, and penalties owing, the department shall refund the remainder to the retail merchant.
