However, on February 16, 2018, a bill was introduced in the California Assembly, which would create a Voluntary Disclosure Agreement (VDA).

Key Points: 
  • However, on February 16, 2018, a bill was introduced in the California Assembly, which would create a Voluntary Disclosure Agreement (VDA).
  • An unclaimed property VDA is a program that is similar to a tax amnesty program in that it would allow companies to report past due unclaimed property without being assessed interest or other penalties.
  • Because California actively seeks out companies with unclaimed property compliance gaps and imposes very significant interest assessments for reporting unclaimed property late, the proposed VDA would present a good opportunity for companies operating in that state to lower their unclaimed property liability risk.
