What is the Connecticut Tax Amnesty Program?
The Connecticut Tax Amnesty Program provides an opportunity for eligible individuals and businesses to pay Connecticut taxes due for eligible tax periods during the amnesty period (starting May 1, 2009, and ending June 25, 2009), to avoid penalties and criminal prosecution and to be subject to a reduced interest rate. The program may not be used to claim refunds or credits, or to reduce existing bills. 2. What periods are eligible for Tax Amnesty? Any tax period ending on or before November 30, 2008.

Example 2: A sales tax filer who is a quarterly filer may apply for amnesty up through the period ending September 30, 2008, and a monthly filer may apply for amnesty up through the period ending
