The New York State Department of Taxation and Finance today reminded both monthly and quarterly sales tax filers that returns are due no later than 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday, September 20.

Convenient options are available to help avoid filing at the last minute. Sales Tax Web File makes filing easy, fast, and flexible—allowing payments to be scheduled up until the due date.

“We’re also reminding registered sales tax vendors that have no taxable sales, no taxable purchases, or no credit to report that they, too, must file a sales tax return or face penalties,” said Acting Commissioner Nonie Manion. “Our website is full of resources to help 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.
