Clifton Treasurer circulates Meals Tax form; online payments under study
Summary
The Treasurer circulated a Meals Tax collection return form requiring monthly filings by the 20th; for now businesses must mail checks and forms, while staff studies online payment options used by Falls Church and Leesburg.
The Town of Clifton circulated a Meals Tax collection return form at the June 4 meeting and outlined an interim filing process while online payments are developed.
The Treasurer explained the Meals Tax is due monthly by the 20th for the preceding month’s sales; filers must submit the Town form and payment (checks payable to Town of Clifton) to the Treasurer’s P.O. Box. The Treasurer said online payments are under consideration but are not immediately available; the town has contacted Falls Church and Leesburg to learn from their collections systems (InvoiceCloud and Paymentus Corporation were referenced as examples).
The meeting packet includes a fillable Meals Tax form with instructions, penalties for late filing, and a note that filing is not complete until both form and payment are received. The Treasurer will prepare outreach to impacted businesses and mail updates on the interim process while staff investigates online payment vendors.
