Gross Receipts Tax for Utility Services (Electric or Gas Receipts) Filing Status Changed to Annual Beginning January 1, 2003

Your gross receipts tax account has been changed to an annual reporting status effective January 1, 2003. This change is required because you paid $100 or less in gross receipts tax during the past four calendar quarters. You will receive a personalized annual gross receipts tax return (Form DR-133) in December 2003. If you do not receive an annual return by late December, please call the telephone number listed below.

This return is due by the last day of the month following the collection period, remitting tax due for the preceding collection period. If the last day of the month falls on Saturday, Sunday or a federal or state legal holiday, returns are considered timely filed if postmarked or delivered to the Department of Revenue on the next succeeding day which is not a Saturday, Sunday, or a legal holiday.

Note: This change applies only to your filing frequency with the Department of Revenue for gross receipts tax for utility services (electric or gas receipts). This change does not affect any other tax filings you may have with the Department or taxes administered by a local government.
