What if I can’t pay?

If you can’t pay by the due date, you may be assessed penalties and interest.

  • The failure to pay penalty is 10% of the amount due.
  • The failure to file to obtain a license penalty is 5% of tax due for each month, or part of a month, the return is late.
  • The minimum for each penalty is $5.

If you did not receive your renewal form, you can fill out the B-202A and mark the renewal circle as well as fill out your account number and information.

Submit the form along with payment to the Department through the mail or by dropping it off at one of the service centers.
