MN Dept of Revenue Issues 30 Day Grace Period for Sales & Use Tax for Businesses Affected by the Closure

In line with the state’s continued response to COVID-19, the Minnesota Department of Revenue is granting a 30-day Sales and Use Tax grace period for businesses identified in Executive Order 20-04. During this time the department will not assess penalties or interest.

Identified businesses with a monthly Sales and Use Tax payment due March 20, 2020, will have until April 20 to make that payment. These customers should still file their return by March 20. At this time, this grace period for penalty and interest is only for monthly filers and only for the March 20 payment. Identified businesses can request additional relief from penalty and interest for reasonable cause after April 20.

We will continue to monitor the situation and provide additional information and guidance.

If you have questions or wish to request additional time, please contact the Minnesota Department of Revenue.
