The Minnesota Department of Revenue indicates that other areas could be added “…at a later time.”
Sales tax returns due during that time period must be filed on or before August 30, 2012 to qualify for waived penalties and interest.
Revenue Commissioner Myron Frans said, “Governor Dayton has pledged his full support to helping these areas recover from this disaster. Canceling penalties and interest is a way for the department to help taxpayers that have much more to worry about right now than a looming tax deadline.”
