The Business Tax and Fee Payment Portal provides a summary of unpaid tax, license and fee obligations. You may pay online through this portal, or you may print a stub and mail it with your payment. Most business taxes require you to file your tax return before you will see an obligation in the payment portal.
The quarterly estimated payment shown in our system is based on your 2020 Annual Business Tax Returns filing. You may pay the lesser of the amount displayed or an amount equal to 25% of your Business Taxes due for 2021, which may be $0.
