In Irene’s wake, Connecticut’s sympathetic tax collector is giving taxpayers a two-week breather to file and pay taxes that were due at the end of August.
Department of Revenue Services Commissioner Kevin Sullivan said Wednesday taxpayers now have until Sept. 13 to file and pay taxes originally due Aug. 31.
State tax filing and payment due from Aug. 31 through Sept. 13 must now be mailed and postmarked by midnight on Sept. 13.
Payments by electronic funds transfer must be initiated no later than 4:30 p.m. on Sept. 12 to be considered timely.
Affected taxes include:
- Sales and use tax,
- Business use tax,
- room occupancy tax,
- Admission and dues tax,
- Alcoholic beverage tax,
- Tourism surcharge,
- Weekly income tax withholding,
- Corporation business tax, and
- Gift and Estate
If taxpayers impacted by Irene receive a late filing notice from DRS for an August 31 through September 13 filing deadline, they should call the department’s Taxpayer Services line at (860) 297-5962 to explain the situation.
