Mineral producers must withhold from payments resulting from the production of minerals in Utah. Any employer who does business in Utah 60 days or less during a calendar year, may be exempt from the withholding requirements. The employer must receive advanced approval from the Tax Commission.

An additional 30 day exemption may be granted if good cause is shown. Back to top I employ a housekeeper .
