At the end of each biennium, which is June 30 of odd numbered years, the May sales and use tax return due date is moved forward from June 30 to June 22. This means larger sales tax permit holders that are required to file monthly must file the May 2009 return by June 22, 2009. The due date for each return is displayed near the top of the form that is mailed to each permit holder or made available in WebFile. May monthly sales and use tax returns will be mailed or made available in WebFile approximately June 1. The early due date applies only to May monthly returns of sales tax permit holders that are required to file monthly because the permit reported more than $333,000 of taxable sales and purchases in the previous calendar year.
To be filed timely, paper returns must be postmarked by the US Postal Service by the due date and WebFile returns must be submitted on-line before midnight of the due date. Returns that are filed or paid after the due date are subject to penalty.
