Important debit block information
If you have debit blocks on your bank account—even if you already authorized sales tax payments to the Tax Department—you must communicate with your bank to specifically authorize your alcoholic beverages tax payments. Your bank will process only these authorized transactions. For more information, see ACH debit block information.
