Message From State Comptroller To Texas Small Business On COVID-19 Crisis

The Texas Comptroller’s office knows that during periods of economic hardship, paying or remitting taxes and fees on time can feel like an extra burden when
there’s so much uncertainty. We’re thankful for those businesses that we’re able to remit state and local sales taxes they collected from customers in February on March 20, 2020, due date.

We understand that virtually all of our taxpayers are doing their best to remain in compliance and be responsible for submitting the taxes they collected from their customers. With that in mind, our agency is here to
offer assistance to those businesses that are struggling to pay the full amount of sales taxes they collected in February.

For businesses that find themselves in this situation, our agency is offering assistance in the form of short-term payment agreements and, in most instances, waivers of penalties and interest.

We ask that you contact our *Enforcement Hotline at 800-252-8880* to learn about your options for remaining in compliance and avoiding interest an late fees on taxes due.
