TITLE: Delinquent tax collection system
DATES: 1987-

DESCRIPTION: This computer data system is used by the Tax Commission Collection Division, to identify those taxpayers who owe the state unpaid warrants, taxes or assessments. UCA_59-1-706(2)_(1990), gives the Tax Commission the authority to establish collection procedures. The system provides a list of taxpayers which have unpaid accounts.

The information held in the system includes notes of authorization for collection and notes on actions taken. Also includes taxpayers name and address; account number and social security number; liability or tax due; tax period and reason of tax.
