Frequently Asked Questions

For calendar year taxpayers the due date is 04-15. For other fiscal year end taxpayers the return should be filed within four months after the end of the fiscal year.

Every individual who anticipated any Middletown taxable income that is not subject to withholding of the Middletown tax must file a Declaration of Estimated Income Tax. All businesses that anticipate any Middletown taxable income must file the Declaration form, regardless of the amount of income anticipated. The declaration is due 04-30 for calendar-year filers, or four months after the end of the fiscal year. The declaration of estimated tax must be submitted with payment of at least one-fourth of the estimated annual tax. An equivalent amount should be paid on the last day of the seventh, tenth, and thirteenth months. The City will bill you automatically for the second, third, and fourth payments.

You may be subject to interest and/or penalties for failing to either submit a return or to withhold and remit employee local income tax.
