Secondary Filings and Transactions That Numeral Handles

While Numeral’s primary focus is on sales and use taxes, there are a few states with additional filings and transactions that we accommodate. Some are built right into our standard filings, while others are completed separately.

Washington business and occupation tax (Washington B&O)

The B&O tax is reported and paid on the excise tax return or by electronic filing. This is included in each of your Washington filings for each period and shows as a separate debit item.

Colorado retail delivery fee (Colorado RDF)

Colorado imposes a retail delivery fee on deliveries by motor vehicle to a location in Colorado with at least one item of tangible personal property subject to the state’s sales or use tax.

The retailer or marketplace facilitator that collects the sales or use tax on the tangible personal property that is sold and delivered (whether or not it is delivered by a third party) is responsible for remitting the RDF. A delivery is when any taxable good is mailed, shipped, or otherwise delivered by motor vehicle to a purchaser in Colorado.

The RDF is reported at the same time as your sales tax return. Returns are generally filed on a monthly basis and must be filed on or before the 20th day of the month following each reporting period. Retailers permitted to file state sales tax returns on a quarterly, annual, or other basis will file the RDF return on the same schedule.

Texas franchise tax

The Texas franchise tax is managed by the same entity that manages sales taxes in Texas, the Texas Comptroller.

Numeral can handle this filing if your business does less than $20 million in annual sales in the U.S.

The Texas franchise tax is a privilege tax imposed on each taxable entity formed or organized in Texas or doing business in Texas. The annual franchise tax report is due May 15. If May 15 falls on a weekend or holiday, the due date will be the next business day.

This is charged at the same rate as a standard filing.

Arizona transaction privilege tax (TPT) license renewal

This license is valid for one calendar year, from January 1 through December 31, and businesses must renew annually by January 1. Even if you get licensed late in the year, you still must renew your license by January. Business owners must pay their renewal fees when they submit their renewal. They can pay with e-check or ACH debit if they have that option set up on their account.

There may be a fee associated with this renewal, depending on the city/town you reside in. You can check the state website for the most up-to-date fee amount.
