The Implications of a Tax Hold on a CA Liquor License

What is a tax hold and what are the implications on a California liquor license when you are attempting to buy or sell?

Tax holds are very common and typically occur when a business has outstanding sales and use tax or employment tax liabilities. ABC Service has valuable experience solving issues with tax holds and can assist both the buyer and seller when delinquent taxes are threatening a liquor license transfer.
