Excise Tax Penalties & Interest
Business that file federal excise tax returns late and/or pay the tax after the deadline (July 31 for 2nd Quarter) may be subject to penalties and interest. The IRS penalize businesses for failing to register, for failing to file, and for failing to pay. The government also charges interest on late tax payments.
Excise tax penalties and interest rates include:
- Failure to File Penalty: 5% of the tax not paid for each month or part of a month that the return is late. Maximum late filing penalty is 25%.
- Failure to Pay Penalty: One-half of 1% of unpaid taxes for each month or part of a month after the due date that the tax is not paid. Maximum late payment penalty is 25%.
- Failure to Deposit Penalty: This penalty ranges from 2% to 15% of the underpayment, depending on the number of days a deposit is late.
- Trust Fund Recovery Penalty: 100% of the unpaid tax. Potentially applies to businesses that willfully fail to collect or to pay the taxes for telephone service, air transportation, and indoor tanning salon services.
- Interest: Interest compounds daily on unpaid tax and penalties. Interest rates are determined by the IRS quarterly. For the first quarter 2019, the interest rate is 6%.
Note: If a penalty for failure to file and a penalty for failure to pay both apply for the same month, the amount of the penalty for failure to file for that month is reduced by the amount of the penalty for failure to pay tax shown on a return.
