A taxpayer must apply for amnesty, file a tax return for each tax period for which amnesty is requested, pay the unpaid taxes in full from January 1, 2012, to February 29, 2012, and agree to comply with state tax laws for the next eight years from the date of the amnesty agreement. The amnesty would apply regardless of whether the taxes were previously assessed, EXCEPT for penalties, additions to tax, and interest paid before January 1, 2012. The amnesty would not extend to any taxpayer who at the time of payment is a party to any criminal investigation or to any civil or criminal litigation pending in any U.S. or Missouri court for nonpayment, delinquency, or fraud relating to any tax imposed by the state.If a taxpayer fails to comply with the state tax laws at any time during 8 years following the date of the agreement, all penalties, additions to tax, and interest that were waived under the agreement would become due and owing immediately. A taxpayer's elects to participate in the amnesty program is an express and absolute relinquishment of all administrative and judicial rights of appeal. No tax payment received under the amnesty program would be eligible for refund or credit. H.B. 2a, as passed by the Missouri House of Representatives, First Extraordinary Session, on September 9, 2011. http://www.carnahanlaw.com/rss/news.html#
