Minnesota HF912 establishes a private letter ruling program for tax guidance and mandates annual reports.

Minnesota HF912 creates a program for the Department of Revenue to issue private letter rulings, providing guidance to taxpayers on how to apply state tax law to specific transactions. The commissioner may set fees based on the complexity of the request. If a ruling is not issued within 90 days, the fee is refunded unless the taxpayer withdraws the request. Rulings are binding if no material facts were misstated or omitted, facts did not materially change, relevant laws remained unchanged, and the taxpayer acted in good faith.
