Extension of time to file your individual income tax return is granted automatically for Vermont State if you already filed for federal tax extension. However,if you have any payment due then you can use Form IN-151 to make the payment.

An extension of time to file a Federal return for business tax extension automatically extends the time to file with Vermont until 30 days beyond the Federal extension date. However, tax is due on the original due date. BA-403 is the form used to file for this extension.

File the application ( Form BA-403 ) on or before the due date of the Vermont Corporate Income Tax Return or Vermont Business Income Tax Return.

Returns filed after the due date without an authorized extension are subject to a late filing fee. The interest rate is set annually by the Commissioner of Taxes in accordance with 32 V.S.A. §3108.
