A filled-in Form TC-62S example: a shop owner files for one period

Form TC-62S example filled out, example: a shop owner files for one period
A shop owner files Form TC-62S for one tax period. Her sales total 12,000, of which 2,000 are exempt, and she is not a monthly filer. The picture shows the filled return and none of its entries is real. The tax rate printed on line 8a is 0.0725. She bought nothing tax free for her own use and made no adjustments, so lines 4 and 6 hold 0. She has no grocery food or residential fuel sales, so Line 8: Tax calculation keeps 8b empty and lines 10, 12 and 13 stay empty.

If this rate is missing or not readable, you can find the appropriate tax rate for your business location online at tax.utah.gov/sales/rates. Verify your location's tax rate before the start of each quarter.

Line 8b: Report total tax on this line for grocery food. Grocery food does not include alcoholic beverages, tobacco or prepared food. Calculate total tax due by multiplying the amount of taxable sales reported on this line by the tax rate for food and food ingredients provided on this line.

Line 9: Total tax (line 8a plus line 8b).

Line 10: Determine any credit for sales of electricity, heat, gas, coal, fuel oil and other fuels sold for residential use by multiplying the amount of these sales included on line 7 by .0285. This cannot be a negative amount. Only retailers making sales of fuel for residential use may claim this credit.

Line 11: Total state and local taxes due (line 9 minus line 10).

Line 12 Monthly filers: Compute the seller discount by multiplying the amount on line 11 by .0131. Only sellers that remit sales taxes on a monthly basis qualify for the seller discount. The Tax Commission must authorize a monthly filing status. Monthly filers required to pay by EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer) who pay by some other method are not eligible for the seller discount.

Line 13: Determine the additional seller discount for sales of grocery food by multiplying the amount on line 8b by .0127. Only retailers making sales of food and food ingredients who file monthly may claim this credit.
