IMPORTANT CHANGES TO WITHHOLDING REQUIREMENTS



Please be advised that municipal income tax withholding due dates and related thresholds are changing as noted below. These changes are the result of the enactment of House Bill 5 by the State legislature.

Monthly Filing and Payment
Monthly filing and payment is required if an employer has withheld with respect to a municipality more than $2,399 in the immediately preceding calendar year, or more than $200 in any one month in the immediately preceding calendar quarter.  The due date for Monthly filers is the 15th day of the month following the month withheld.

Quarterly Filing and Payment
Quarterly filing and payment is required if an employer has withheld with respect to a municipality $2,399 or less in the immediately preceding calendar year, or $200 or less for each month in the immediately preceding calendar quarter.  The due date for Quarterly filers is the 15th day of the month following the end of the quarter.


In addition to these changes to withholding tax filing requirements, H.B. 5 also includes changes to the occasional entrant provisions, penalty and interest rates, annual tax return and estimated tax payment due dates and thresholds, and other items.
