Common questions
Do I have to file if I had no sales?
Generally, yes. Registered vendors in New York must file a return for every period on their schedule, even when sales were zero.
I'm behind on sales tax returns. What now?
Call us. We'll gather your sales records, file the missing returns and help you deal with any notices.
Do I need to collect sales tax on everything I sell?
Not always. Some goods and services are exempt in New York. We'll review what you sell and tell you what's taxable.
