Boom Boom, Out Go the Lights for Tennessee Tax Man

The Tennessee Department of Revenue was closed this afternoon, September 4, 2012. We understand that power suddenly failed, following a loud boom in the basement of the Andrew Jackson Building.

Reminds us of the Pat Travers Band rocking one hit wonder: "Boom Boom, Out Go the Lights."

Time to rejoice?

Not if you are a restaurant or bar owner trying to obtain tax clearance for a new or renewed Tennessee liquor license. The ABC will not be able to clear licenses until power is restored and tax officials catch up. Expect delays.

We hear that Revenue offices will likely be closed Wednesday. There was no estimate for when power would be restored.

Just another day in paradise for licensing in Tennessee.

Let us know how this affects your business by leaving comments so we can keep everyone posted.
