If I called the Dept. of Ag. in Michigan or Illinois, I’d be overjoyed if I only had to hold for twenty minutes.
I’ve never had experience with BWM, but....
I *DID* have a state sales tax audit (a thing every single business will go thru every 2-3 years in CA) in...maybe 1988.
I was a sole proprietor. Eg; I did the deals, accounted for the deals collected salex (or not)
I was selling fairly expensive gear and generating $6K-$11K in sales tax quarterly. Of course...at those prices ($20K-$30K items) what customer would not want to avoid sales tax? Having been an employee at a biz that was SaTax audited and ended up with a $118K bill....I would not do those deals.
Anyway, I ended up with a $6K bill, and the auditor tried to scam me. I was quite stuned.
I call the offices of the State Attorney general and reported the attempt to extract a bribe by the auditor.
They were in Commerce, CA, I was in No. Hollywood. They were at my door in 20 minutes.
I would seriously question whether the trip from Commerce to N. Hwd is drivable in 20 minutes. I was shocked to see them at my door that fast. Seriously, they must have jumped into their car Joe Friday style (60’s TV reference)
So.......so, nothing. Just an anecdote.
