Relief for businesses, property owners affected by wind and flooding

 

December 17, 2015



With state business tax filing deadlines coming soon, the Washington State Department of Revenue (Revenue) wants businesses impacted by the recent windstorms and flooding to know relief is available.

Revenue will work with businesses that cannot file or pay their taxes on time due to the windstorms and flooding.

Businesses in a disaster area can ask for:

· More time to file and pay their taxes

· A waiver of a late payment penalty

· An extension on expiring reseller permits and business licenses and registrations

· An audit to be rescheduled.

Taxes are due on Dec. 28, 2015 for monthly-reporting businesses.

Any individual or business that owns property in the declared disaster area may be eligible for property tax relief. Property owners can visit Revenue’s disaster relief page for links to the forms that should be filed with the local county assessor’s office.

Businesses can request an extension or penalty waiver by sending a secure email in their My Account or by calling Revenue’s customer service staff at 1-800-647-7706 during regular work week hours. Customer service by phone is offered in a number of languages.
