The New York State Department of Taxation and Finance today reminded both monthly and quarterly sales tax filers about convenient options available to help them meet their obligation to file an accurate sales tax return on time.

• Sales Tax Web File makes filing easy, fast, and flexible—allowing payments to be scheduled up until the due date.
  
  

• It’s free to use and allows filers to make payments directly from their bank’s checking or savings account.

• The Tax Department website has a variety of resources, including filing guidance, videos, and demos, to help filers prepare accurate sales tax returns.
  
  
• 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.

The Tax Department expects to process nearly $650 million in sales tax payments ahead of the June 20 deadline.
