Close a tax account
This part of the guide explains how to close a tax account.
Tax accounts with a balance other than $ 0.00 can not be closed. Once the tax account has been closed, its status changes to Closed and it cannot be reopened. However, SIGTAS allocates the user a 24-hour delay to enable it to correct errors, if applicable.
