Compromise and abatement are two remedies available to taxpayers under Section 204 of the Tax Code. Compromise involves paying a percentage of the tax liability, while abatement means cancelling the tax liability with no payment. A taxpayer can file for compromise if the tax liability's validity is doubtful or they cannot pay, and file for abatement if the assessment is unjust or excessive or if collection costs outweigh the amount due.
