About the Tax

Filing Returns
In addition to the license the producer must file an Amusement Tax License Permit as follows:
Amusement Tax Permanent (Annual): The tax return is due by the 10th of each month following the previous month’s activities.
Amusement Tax Temporary: The tax return with full remittance is due upon conclusion of the event.
The tax rate for both is 10% of gross collections.
