ADOR Opens 2026 TPT License Renewal Season

Early launch gives businesses more time to renew on schedule  

Phoenix, AZ—The Arizona Department of Revenue (ADOR) recently opened the  Transaction Privilege Tax (TPT) License Renewal season earlier than ever,  giving businesses additional  time to update their accounts and to renew early. ADOR is sending letters and emails to businesses to announce the beginning of the renewal cycle for 2026 TPT licenses. 

Renewal Due Date
The due date to renew a TPT license is January 1, 2026, and licenses are valid for one calendar year, from January 1 through December 31. Even if a business licenses late in the calendar year, they still must renew it for the new year. Failure to renew, or renewals received after January 31 will incur fees and/or late penalties.

Renew Online
State law requires taxpayers with multiple business locations or have $500 or more in annual total tax liability to renew their TPT license electronically (A.R.S. § 42-5014).

Furthermore, businesses that already have an AZTaxes account will be required to renew online, and will not receive a paper form.

If the renewal option is not visible on AZTaxes, the user account may not be linked to the TPT license or the primary user has not given the delegate user access to renew the license. See AZTaxes User Access for more information on primary and delegate users. 

Out-of-state businesses without a physical presence in Arizona must renew their TPT licenses if they have more than $100,000 in sales to Arizona customers in the current calendar year. 

Marijuana excise tax licenses are not required to be renewed, but marijuana TPT licenses must be renewed each year.

Renewal Fees
The renewal fee is due at the time of renewal and can be paid via AZTaxes.gov with e-check or ACH Debit, if that option is already set up on the account. All fees are payable to ADOR, and include the license number and “Renewal 2026” on the payment. 

Updating Owners and Officer Information

It is very important to update the owner/officer information before renewing to avoid delays in processing. If the owner/officer is not updated, ADOR will not be able to process requests due to the signer not being authorized.

Filing Frequency
Businesses should review and consider adjusting their filing frequency if their total estimated annual TPT liability has changed. This can help reduce the possibility of delinquent returns and payments by decreasing the filing occurrences. If there are delinquencies on the business account, the filing frequency cannot be changed.
