Save Up To 80% of the Penalty and Interest on Your New York State Tax Debts
By The New York State Department of Taxation and Finance
The PAID (Penalty and Interest Discount) Program gives taxpayers with older unpaid bills the chance to save up to 80% of the penalty and interest they owe.
To take advantage of the program’s savings, you must make all payments by the program’s expiration date, March 15, 2010. If you don’t pay in full by that date:
- your opportunity for these savings will be lost forever
- any unpaid tax debts will continue to accrue interest at the full statutory rate.
How PAID can serve you
You can save:
- 80% of accrued penalty and interest on unpaid bills issued on or before December 31, 2003
- 50% of accrued penalty and interest on unpaid bills issued after Dec. 31, 2003 and on or before Dec. 31, 2006.
- Unpaid tax bills are bad for your credit rating and can lead to liens and other enforcement actions.
- We’re increasing our efforts to collect unpaid bills. If you act now and pay what you owe, you can take advantage
of the savings and avoid collection actions.
