IMPORTANT INFORMATION

READ THIS BEFORE OBTAINING YOUR NEW YORK CITY TAX CLEARANCE

In order to make the City tax clearance process simpler for you, there have been

changes made in how the New York City Department of Finance issues Vendor Tax

Clearance Certificates. One of these changes is that the $10 City tax clearance

fee will now be added to your Department of Health license or permit renewal fee.

You no longer have to pay the $10 fee to the Department of Finance.

The other change is that the City departments of Health and Finance have

worked together to automate the tax clearance process. These departments

have exchanged information in an effort to determine your tax clearance status

prior to this renewal mailing being sent out. From now on, most food vendor

licensees and permittees - those whom the Department of Finance can de-

termine have filed and paid all applicable City taxes - will not have to apply

for a Vendor Tax Clearance Certificate.

Please read your renewal notice carefully before completing the form on

the other side of this sheet. You may already have been cleared by the

New York City Department of Finance.

If on your license or permit renewal application it states: “You have already been

cleared by the New York City Department of Finance”, you DO NOT need to

complete this form or provide the New York City Department of Finance with any

documentation. You DO NOT need to visit, call, or mail anything in to the New

York City Department of Finance’s offices. The Department of Health has already

been notified by the Department of Finance that you are cleared. You should

proceed with the other requirements you need to obtain your renewal.

If on your license or permit renewal application it states: “You have not been

cleared by the New York City Department of Finance”, you must either com-

plete this form and take it along with all required documents or, you may mail this

form along with all required documents to the address on the other side of this

sheet. Whether you walk or mail in your New York City Department of Finance

Application for Vendor Tax Clearance Certificate form, be sure you have as-

sembled all required documents first. For information on what taxes you have

not filed or may owe, call 311.
