AI Summary

This bill amends Section 16B of Chapter 62C of the General Laws to require certain taxpayers to make advanced payments of sales tax or room occupancy excise tax. Specifically, taxpayers with over $150,000 in annual sales tax or room occupancy excise tax liability must pay either the tax collected on sales made through the 21st day of the last month of the filing period or 75% of the liability from the same calendar month in the prior year, by the 25th day of the last month of the filing period. Taxpayers who underpay the advanced payment may be subject to a 5% penalty, unless the underpayment is due to reasonable cause. The bill exempts certain small taxpayers, as well as materialmen, from this advanced payment requirement.
