Audiences: Businesses
Businesses that have incurred charges for overdue taxes, interest and penalties should pay the outstanding balance immediately. However, if your business is unable to pay immediately, you should contact a representative of the Business Collections Section to discuss possible payment plan arrangements.
Typically, the Comptroller's Office will not file a lien if a short-term payment plan (not to exceed six months) is reached. A supervisor in the Collections section must review payment plan agreements exceeding six months.
Payment plan agreements in no way affect the filing requirements of future business tax returns.
Any disbursements due a business from the state of Maryland will be applied to any liability owed the Comptroller's Office. This action is taken under the State Finance and Procurement Article, Section 7-222, Annotated Code of Maryland, and in no way affects the payment plan schedule.
To request a payment plan, please email Business Collections at cdcollectionbizz@marylandtaxes.gov or call us at 410-649-0633 or 1-888-614-6337.
You can make your Maryland employer withholding and sales and use tax payments by credit card. You can make your payment online provided you have received a bill for an existing liability. When you make your payment, you will be asked to enter a jurisdiction code. Use jurisdiction code 3000 for your Maryland state tax payments. You will be required to enter your federal employer identification number and Maryland central registration number along with central tax information. After your payment is authorized, you will be given a confirmation number. Please keep this confirmation for your records.
