Navigating the intricacies of tax payments can be daunting for businesses, but the Vermont Department of Taxes has streamlined one aspect of this task with the FORM EFT-2—an enrollment form designed for businesses opting to use the ACH Credit payment method for their VTBIZFILE submissions. This form is a gateway for businesses in Vermont to register their preference for electronically transferring funds directly from their bank accounts to the state's coffers, covering various tax types including Sales and Use, and Withholding Tax for both monthly and quarterly filers. By completing this form, businesses are required to supply essential information such as their business name, Federal ID Number, contact details, and the specific taxes they're registering to pay using ACH Credit. The process promises simplicity and efficiency: once the form is processed, businesses receive crucial routing and banking numbers along with EFT codes needed to instruct their banks for the tax payment. This system not only introduces a layer of convenience but also ensures the security of the transaction process, underscoring the Vermont Department of Taxes' commitment to leveraging technology for better tax administration. However, it's worth noting that while the state does not impose a fee for using the ACH Credit method, banks might charge for the service. The process, including a test transmission by the bank, is designed to be swift, aiming for a completion timeline of about one week from the form's submission. It's important for businesses to remember that this form is specifically for those wishing to use the ACH Credit option through VTBIZFILE, with a separate online registration required for ACH Debit users. This form signifies a step towards greater efficiency in tax management for Vermont businesses, signaling the state's commitment to modernizing and simplifying tax payment processes.

INSTRUCTIONS
When you use the ACH Credit payment option, you initiate the payment. You instruct your bank to withdraw the amount of tax due for your VTBIZFILE payment from your account. Depending on your banking arrangements, your bank may charge a fee. The VT Department of Taxes does not charge a fee for paying via ACH Credit.
Submit your completed enrollment form to the VT Department of Taxes via fax or mail. After your form has been processed, the Department will provide you with the routing and banking numbers and the EFT codes. You will need to take this information to your bank. Your bank will then complete a test transmission. After the successful completion of the test transmission, you can begin using ACH Credit to pay your taxes through VTBIZFILE. Please allow up to one week to complete the enrollment process.
REMINDER: This form should be used to enroll your company to use the ACH Credit payment option for VTBIZFILE only. To register your company to use the ACH Debit payment option for VTBIZFILE, you must complete the online registration form on the VTBIZFILE site.
