Kentucky's Sales and Use Tax Returns Moving Online

The Kentucky Revenue Cabinet (KRC) and the Governor's Office for Technology (GOT) are working together on a new project that will bring Internet filing of sales and use tax returns to the Commonwealth. Sales and use tax has a very large taxpayer base. The proposed Internet application will allow taxpayers to better control their sales and use tax accounts. They will be able to view returns that were previously filed online. They will also be able to see if they have any outstanding bills owed to KRC.

The application is due to be available to the taxpayers in November 2002. KRC users and the development team are excited about this new application because of the benefits that will be realized. These include simplifying the filing of returns for the taxpayers and enabling them to better manage their own accounts and providing more accurate and complete information to KRC. "We are very happy to be working with GOT on development of this application," said Carla Hawkins, Director of KRC's Division of Systems Planning and Development. "Not only will we be providing better service to the taxpayers by responding to their requests to file on-line, we will also eliminate some of our time spent processing paper returns."
