When is my next return due?

Worked out from the rules set out below — the March-to-February sales tax year, 20 days after the period ends, and the weekend and holiday roll.

The Department assigns this and notifies you of any change. Most new vendors start as quarterly filers. Already late? Work out what it costs.

The sales tax year

New York's sales tax year runs March 1 through February 28 or 29. Returns are due no later than 20 days after the end of the period they relate to, and if the due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday it moves to the next business day.

Filing frequency

The Department assigns the frequency and notifies the vendor of any change. Most new vendors start as quarterly filers.

FrequencyWhen it appliesFormDue
Annual$3,000 or less in tax during the annual filing periodST-101March 20 following the February 28/29 year end
Quarterly (the default)Not notified as an annual filer, and under $300,000 in taxable receipts, purchases subject to tax, rents and amusement charges in the previous quarterST-10020 days after each quarter ends
Part-quarterly (monthly)$300,000 or more in a quarter, or an Article 12-A distributor selling 100,000 gallons or more of petroleum productsST-809 and ST-81020th of each month; the third month of the quarter is reported on the ST-810
How frequency changes

Crossing $300,000 in taxable receipts, purchases subject to tax, rents and amusement charges in a single quarter moves a vendor to part-quarterly (monthly) filing beginning with the first month of the next sales tax quarter.

Going the other way is not automatic: moving from monthly back to quarterly requires four consecutive quarters under $300,000 and the vendor contacting the Tax Department.

Returns with no tax due

Tax Bulletin TB-ST-275 is explicit: even if the business did not make any taxable sales or purchases during the reporting period, the return must be filed by the due date. The minimum penalty for a late return with no tax due is $50.

Electronic filing and payment

A sales tax vendor must Web File if it is subject to the corporation tax e-file mandate, or if all three of the following are true: the vendor prepares its own tax documents without a tax professional, uses a computer to prepare, document or calculate the filings, and has broadband internet access.

Penalties for ignoring the mandate are $50 for each tax document not e-filed and $50 for each failure to e-pay, on top of the ordinary failure-to-file penalty. The Department states that reasonable cause does not include a desire to opt out of e-filing, ignorance of the law, or reluctance to provide bank account information.

Common questions

When are New York quarterly sales tax returns due?
Twenty days after the quarter ends: June 20, September 20, December 20 and March 20, moving to the next business day when the date falls on a weekend or legal holiday. The quarters run March–May, June–August, September–November and December–February.
What makes a New York vendor a monthly filer?
Taxable receipts, purchases subject to tax, rents and amusement charges of $300,000 or more in a quarter, or being an Article 12-A distributor that sold 100,000 gallons or more of petroleum products. Monthly filing starts with the first month of the next sales tax quarter.
What is the difference between Form ST-809 and Form ST-810?
Part-quarterly (monthly) filers use ST-809 for the first two months of each quarter. The third month is reported on ST-810, which also serves as the quarterly return.
Can I go back to quarterly filing after being moved to monthly?
The Department requires four consecutive quarters below $300,000 and the vendor contacting the Tax Department. It does not revert automatically.
