Payment and filing due dates

The filing and tax payment due date is three business days following the 22nd of the month for which you're reporting. (Note that holidays may change the due date.) Deadlines for when you must initiate your transaction differ by payment method. See Form TR-682-N, Participation Notification and Overview for Electronic Filing and Payment Program (PrompTax).

Your PrompTax electronic payment transaction will include two components for days 1 through 22 of the current month: 

  • a field to report the amount of payment attributable to Article 12-A (combined motor fuel and diesel motor fuel excise tax); and,
  • another field to report Article 13-A (petroleum business tax only).

If the due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, the return is due on the next business day.
