Filing and Payment Frequency

Due dates for sales and related taxes are based on the previous year’s sales tax liability, as determined by the Annual Sales Tax Liability Table.

    Sales and related tax returns are due the last day of the month after the filing period. For example, returns for annual filers are due January 31. If a due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, the due date is the next business day.

    New businesses estimate the amount of sales and use tax liability when applying for a license and are assigned a filing status. The Tax Commission reviews accounts annually and notifies businesses in writing if the filing status changes.

    For instruction on how to file please see filing instructions.
