Utah State Tax Commission to resume in-person hearings, mediations June 1

The Utah State Tax Commission has announced that in-person hearings and mediations will resume beginning June 1. Participants will still be given the option to appear by video conference or telephone.

In-person hearings were suspended last spring in the face of the growing COVID-19 pandemic.

The commission previously issued notices for hearings and mediations scheduled between June 1 and June 11 with instructions for all participants to join remotely. With the newly announced change, people receiving such notices may choose to participate in-person at the commission office or remotely by following their prior instructions. After June 1, the commission said it will continue its longstanding practice of conducting telephone status conferences and scheduling conferences by telephone only.

Taxpayers with questions concerning appearing before the commission should call Tammy Kikuchi at 801-297-3910.
