Reading the bulk sales law by state registry: three ways a buyer inherits tax debt

Every row in the registry answers one question: can the state collect the seller's unpaid sales or similar taxes from the buyer? In 44 of 51 jurisdictions the answer in the official text is yes.

Bulk sale: A sale of all or a major part of a business's inventory, equipment or other assets outside the ordinary course of business. Thresholds differ: Florida and Indiana use more than 50 percent, Pennsylvania 51 percent or more.

Successor liability: A rule that makes the buyer (the successor) answer for the seller's unpaid state taxes, usually up to the purchase price, if the buyer does not withhold money or obtain a clearance.

Clearance certificate: A receipt, certificate, letter or statement from the tax agency showing that the seller's taxes are paid or stating the amount due. Names vary: tax clearance certificate, letter of good standing, certificate of no tax due.

The registry sorts the buyer's exposure into three mechanisms. In 40 jurisdictions the purchaser is personally liable. In 4 the state reaches the assets or the deal instead: South Carolina makes unpaid tax a lien on the assets in the purchaser's hands, Massachusetts gives the state a lien on a corporation's assets, Rhode Island treats an unnoticed sale as void against the state, and Oklahoma denies the buyer a sales tax permit until the seller's tax is paid.

Caps differ. Texas, Connecticut, Kentucky and Wisconsin limit liability to the purchase price. North Carolina uses the greater of the price or the fair market value. Michigan limits a non-compliant buyer to the fair market value of the business less proceeds applied to superior secured debts. Kansas uses the value of the property received. Where the text sets no cap, the registry says so.

This report covers tax rules only. Whether a business broker needs a license to handle the sale is covered in our business broker license by state registry.

Ten jurisdictions demand a filing before closing, and Indiana's 45 days is the longest

10 jurisdictions require a notice to the tax agency before the closing date. The median deadline is 10 days; Indiana's is 4.5 times that.

The deadlines are written in different units, and the difference matters on a calendar. New Jersey and Illinois count 10 business days, which is about two calendar weeks without holidays. Rhode Island counts 5 business days. New York, Pennsylvania, Vermont and Maryland count 10 days, Massachusetts 5 days and the District of Columbia 15 days.

Who files also differs. In New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Vermont, Maryland and the District of Columbia the duty sits with the buyer. In Pennsylvania and Rhode Island the selling entity gives the notice; in Massachusetts the corporation or any person in interest does. Indiana's notice must include a purchase agreement signed by both parties, and the seller must approve the release of its tax information.

Minnesota is a special case: a successor must give 20 days' notice only if a state tax lien has already been filed against the seller. It is shown in the chart but left out of the count of mandatory notice states.

The tax agency's answer can take 60 to 90 days, far longer than any filing deadline

Where a statute, rule or form puts a deadline on the agency (19 jurisdictions), the median maximum is 60 days, 6.0 times the median filing deadline.

Most of these clocks protect the buyer. If the agency misses its deadline, the purchaser is released from the duty to withhold in Texas, Kentucky, Nevada, Wisconsin, Connecticut, California, Nebraska, Idaho and New Mexico, and in New Jersey the purchaser is not liable for the seller's state taxes. Michigan's buyer is not liable if Treasury fails to provide the requested information within 60 days.

Several clocks start late. California's 60 days run from the latest of the request, the sale date or the date the seller's records are made available. Texas, Kentucky, Nevada and Wisconsin start their 60 days at the request or at records availability, whichever is later, with a 90-day cap. A buyer who closes before the answer arrives usually has to keep the withheld money in escrow until it does.

In 34 jurisdictions there is no filing deadline, only a duty to hold back money

77.3 percent of the jurisdictions with buyer exposure never ask for a notice. The protection is to withhold part of the price until the seller produces a receipt or certificate.

The common wording, found in Texas, Connecticut, Kentucky, Virginia, Ohio and many others, has three parts: the seller files a final return, the buyer withholds enough of the purchase price to cover unpaid tax, and the buyer pays the seller in full only after a receipt or a certificate that no tax is due.

Seller deadlines for the final return run from the sale: 10 days in Washington, Colorado, Mississippi and Montana, 15 days in Missouri, Virginia, Arizona, Ohio, Michigan, Florida and Maine, and 30 days in North Carolina, Utah, West Virginia and Wyoming.

Some states add a pre-closing step without a deadline. Idaho's buyer must make inquiry of the State Tax Commission. New Mexico will not process a clearance request filed after the transaction's effective date. Missouri's seller must present a statement or certificate to the buyer before the sale is consummated. Tennessee accepts a seller affidavit sent to the Department, which has 15 days to say it is wrong.

• Georgia: the purchaser's personal liability is limited to the consideration paid, which includes debts assumed (O.C.G.A. 48-8-46).
• Maine: liability is limited to the purchase price, and the assessor may assess the purchaser within 6 years of the sale (36 M.R.S. 177(6)).
• Mississippi: the purchaser withholds up to the purchase price; if the tax is unpaid after 10 days, buyer and seller are both liable.
• Wyoming: the withholding duty in W.S. 39-15-103(c)(iv) is tied to tax on outstanding credit, installment and conditional sales, a narrower scope than most states.

UCC Article 6 is still law in California and Maryland, not in D.C.

The commercial bulk sales law that once covered most states survives in two of the four jurisdictions checked against official code text.

California's Commercial Code Division 6 requires a bulk sale notice to be recorded and published at least 12 business days before the sale. That is a creditor notice, separate from the tax rule in Revenue and Taxation Code 6811 and 6812.

Maryland ties its tax rule to the old Article 6. Tax-General 11-505 requires the transferee to mail the Commercial Law bulk transfer notice to the Comptroller, and Commercial Law 6-105 sets that notice at least 10 days before the transferee takes possession or pays.

The D.C. Code lists 28:6-101 as repealed by D.C. Law 20-215, applicable Jan. 1, 2016. An attorney guide updated in October 2026 still lists D.C. among the places that enforce Article 6. The D.C. tax rule (the Bulk Sales Act notice to the Office of Tax and Revenue) remains in force.

A seller's timeline: what to file, and when, before the closing date

Count back from the closing date: the agency's answer window, not the notice deadline, usually sets the earliest safe date to ask.

• When the letter of intent is signed: identify every state where the business collects sales tax or withholds payroll tax, and look up its row in the registry.
• Up to 90 days before closing: in Texas, Kentucky, Nevada, Wisconsin and Florida (audit route), request the certificate early enough for the agency's maximum window.
• 45 days before closing: file Indiana's Notice of Transfer in Bulk with a signed purchase agreement.
• 15 days before closing: in D.C., the purchaser's certified-mail notice to the Office of Tax and Revenue.
• 10 days or 10 business days before closing: New York (AU-196.10), New Jersey (C-9600), Illinois (CBS-1), Pennsylvania (REV-181), Vermont and Maryland notices.
• 5 days or 5 business days before closing: Massachusetts and Rhode Island notices for corporate and entity sellers.
• Within 30 days before closing: South Carolina's certificate of compliance must be dated in this window to protect the buyer.
• After closing: Hawaii's Form G-8A within 10 days; final sales tax returns within the state's deadline, from 10 to 30 days.

The six stages of a sale, and where tax clearance fits, are described on our how it works page. Questions to put to a broker about closing logistics are listed under questions to ask a broker.

Where the coding is uncertain or the statute was not found

43 rows rest on clear text, 4 need interpretation and 4 found no provision. None of the rows was guessed.

Arkansas, New Hampshire, North Dakota and South Dakota are coded not found. North Dakota's chapter 57-39.2 makes the tax due before a sale and delinquent 15 days after it, but contains no purchaser withholding clause. South Dakota's chapters 10-45 and 10-59 and New Hampshire's meals and rentals chapter 78-A contain none either. Arkansas's code is hosted by a commercial publisher, and the Department of Finance and Administration and the Code of Arkansas Rules returned no successor rule.

Massachusetts, Montana, Oklahoma and Wyoming are flagged for interpretation. Massachusetts c. 62C, s. 51 applies only to business corporations selling all or substantially all of their Massachusetts assets; no sales-tax successor section was found. Montana's 15-68-808 covers only taxes under its chapter 68. Oklahoma's rule denies the successor a permit rather than imposing a withholding duty.

18 rows were read through Internet Archive copies of the official page because the live page blocked automated access or did not load from our network, and 15 rows were coded mainly from revenue department guidance, forms or filed rules rather than statute text.

Executive summary

• In 44 of 51 jurisdictions (50 states plus D.C.), the official text lets the state collect a seller's unpaid sales or similar taxes from the buyer of the business or its assets, as of 2026-10-28.
• 40 of those jurisdictions make the purchaser personally liable; 4 (Massachusetts, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina) use an asset lien, a void sale or a permit denial instead.
• Only 10 jurisdictions set a mandatory filing deadline before closing. The median is 10 days; Indiana's 45 days, in force for closings since Feb. 14, 2024, is the longest.
• In the other 34 exposed jurisdictions (77.3 percent) there is no filing deadline: the buyer protects itself by withholding part of the price until the seller produces a receipt or certificate.
• The slower clock is usually the agency's. Where a deadline is written down (19 jurisdictions), the median maximum is 60 days, and in 11 it is 60 days or more; Texas, Kentucky, Nevada, Wisconsin and Florida allow up to 90.
• Of the four jurisdictions whose code text was checked, UCC Article 6, the old commercial bulk sales law, is still in force in California (revised Division 6) and Maryland; D.C. repealed its version effective for 2016.
• Alaska, Delaware and Oregon have no state general sales tax; for Arkansas, New Hampshire, North Dakota and South Dakota no successor provision was found in the official texts searched.

Data quality and exclusions

• 4 jurisdictions (Arkansas, New Hampshire, North Dakota, South Dakota) coded not found after searching the chapters listed in excluded.md; they are not counted as having buyer exposure.
• 4 rows (Massachusetts, Montana, Oklahoma, Wyoming) flagged interpretation needed because the text covers only part of the tax picture or uses a lien or permit denial instead of a withholding duty.
• 3 business-day deadlines (Illinois, New Jersey, Rhode Island) converted to calendar-day equivalents for the median and chart; the stated units remain in table 1.
• 1 conditional deadline (Minnesota, 20 days, only when a state tax lien is filed) left out of the mandatory-notice count; including it leaves the median at 10 days.
• 18 rows read through Internet Archive copies of the official page; capture dates range from 2023-06-30 (California Commercial Code) to 2026-10-23 (Nevada).
• 1 former statute (Florida 212.10) excluded because it is absent from the 2026 Florida Statutes; 213.758 coded instead.
• 1 commercial-law notice (California Commercial Code 6105, 12 business days) and 1 post-closing filing (Hawaii G-8A, 10 days after) kept out of the pre-closing tax notice count.

Methodology

Selection: one primary official text per jurisdiction, in this order of preference: the state legislature's code site, a filed agency rule, then the revenue department's own guidance or form. Law firm and broker summaries were read only to find citations and are listed as Tier 3 context; none is the evidence for a registry row. Coding date: 2026-10-28.

Inclusion: sales and use tax (or the closest general tax, such as Hawaii's general excise tax) was coded first. Where the same text also covered withholding, unemployment or other taxes it is noted in the row; separate labor department rules were not coded.

Conflicts: when a secondary source disagreed with the official text (for example, a 2026 attorney guide listing D.C. as an Article 6 state), the official text governs. Florida's former section 212.10 was replaced by 213.758 in the coding because 212.10 is absent from the 2026 statutes.

Derived metrics: notice deadlines in business days are converted at 5 business days = 7 calendar days for the medians and charts; stated units are kept in table 1. Agency windows use the written maximum. The planning window is the larger of the two. All formulas are in derived_metrics.csv and scripts/build.py.

Access: pages that blocked automated access or did not load from our network were read through Internet Archive copies of the same official URL, labelled in the source list with the capture date. No bot protection was bypassed.

Limitations: the registry records what the text says, not how agencies apply it. Processing times, local taxes and industry-specific rules (liquor licenses, motor fuel) are outside its scope.

Updates: the registry is rechecked quarterly. Owners who want to compare brokers can use our broker match form; how the site works is explained on how this website works.

This report presents published data with its limitations. It is not legal, financial or investment advice.
