Time for Businesses to Prepare for Transaction Privilege Tax License Renewals

The Arizona Department of Revenue (ADOR) start mailing or emailing renewal notices in October to business owners advising them to renew their Arizona Transaction Privilege Tax (TPT) License before January 1. Penalties may apply to renewals received after January 31.

Please note that a paper Renewal Form will only be sent to paper filers. For those registered through AZTaxes, an email and/or letter will be sent, and a notice will be displayed on AZTaxes.gov as a reminder. 

State law requires taxpayers with multiple business locations to renew their TPT licenses electronically. Taxpayers can enroll on AZTaxes.gov to expedite renewal processing.  The option to electronically renew a license will be available in November.

Before renewing, businesses are encouraged to update and verify their account information to prevent unnecessary fees and penalties. On AZTaxes.gov, registered companies can do the following: 

• Change the mailing address.

• Add, edit, and close locations.

• Cancel or close an existing TPT license.

• Add new reporting jurisdictions or business codes. 

If a business has completely closed, the TPT license must be canceled. If one of the multiple locations has shut down, the individual location on the license must be closed. Licenses that are not renewed will not be canceled but will be automatically renewed and assessed the appropriate license fees.

Please note that businesses must keep their owner/office information current. Businesses can submit these changes on the Business Account Update Form 10193.
