The CDS Program intercepts vendor payments to offset debts owed by vendors to ÌÒ»¨ÉçÇøÊÓƵ agencies. If it is determined that a vendor is either EDI or CDS, payments to these vendors are transmitted electronically to Richmond so that the CDS vendor payments are applied against taxation debts.

Three payment instances may occur:
Ìý

1. IfÌýpartialÌýpayment is taken, the vendor will receive the remaining balance. The ACH or Check remittance will indicate the amount taken for the debt owed.
2. If theÌýfullÌýamount of payment is taken, the vendor will not receive any amount of the payment.
3. IfÌýnoneÌýof the payment is taken, the vendor will receive the full payment amount.

No checks are produced for vendors who are determined to have a taxation debt set-off.
