The New York State Department of Taxation and Finance today reminded quarterly sales tax filers about convenient options available to help them avoid filing at the last minute to meet the June 20 deadline. Sales Tax Web File makes filing easy, fast, and flexible—allowing payments to be scheduled up until the due date.

“If you’re ready to file, there’s no reason to wait— complete your return online and schedule the payment for any date up to, and including the deadline of June 20,” said Acting Commissioner Nonie Manion. “Our website is full of resources to help you prepare and file an accurate sales tax return on time to avoid penalties.”

Resources include filing instructions, guidance, videos, and demos.

Sales Tax Web File is free to use and allows payments to be made directly from a vendor’s checking or savings account. The software allows bank account information to be saved for future payments and is designed to protect your private information.

Reminder: Registered sales tax vendors must file sales tax returns even if they had no taxable sales, taxable purchases, or credits to report. They face penalties if they don’t meet their filing obligations.
