Overview
An extension of time to file a Vermont corporate or business income tax return does not extend the time for paying the tax.
Any tax due and unpaid by the original due date will bear interest at the statutory rate, and a penalty of 1% or 5% per month, up to a maximum of 25%. Returns filed after the due date without an authorized extension are subject to a late filing fee. The interest rate is set annually by the Commissioner of Taxes in accordance with 32 V.S.A. § 3108.
Act 175 (H.954) of 2020 allows for automatic extension of the Vermont income tax filing deadline for both individual and corporate taxpayers upon extension at the federal level and gives corporations one additional month to file.
