EXAMPLE: If you determine that you owe $100,000 on the due date (August 15) and you file and pay the tax on August 26, then you

are 11 days late in making the payment. The calculation of the interested owed is as follows: [$100,000 * (11/365)] * 12% = $361.64.

Enter 5% of line 9 to compute penalty if tax is not paid when due. The tax is due on or before the 15th day of the second month following

the fiscal year in which taxable receipts are received.

Enter the total tax, penalty and interest due (add lines 9, 10, and 11 ).

Overpayment. If line 9 is less than 0, enter the amount of overpayment.

If you want the amount of the overpayment to be credited to next year's estimated tax, check the credit box. Otherwise, check the refund box.

Note: Any amounts overpaid will first be applied to deficiencies outstanding for this tax and to deficiencies for

any other City of Chicago tax for which you are registered.
