Businesses Must Report Sales Tax on Time, Even When Temporarily Closed or Without Revenue

  • Businesses applying for suspension must report business tax on time, regardless of sales.
  • Businesses using uniform invoices must report sales, tax payable, or overpaid tax on time.
  • Late reporting incurs penalties, with fines increasing based on delay duration.
  • According to tax law, businesses must report every two months within 15 days of the next period.
  • Failure to report within 30 days results in a penalty of 1 percent of tax payable every two days, with minimum and maximum limits.
  • If over 30 days late, a 30 percent penalty is applied, with specified minimum and maximum amounts.
  • Example: A business suspended operations but failed to report taxes on time, resulting in a penalty.
  • Businesses using uniform invoices must report taxes even if there are no sales during suspension to avoid penalties.
  • For inquiries, contact the free service number or visit the tax bureau’s website.
