may charge a fee. The taxpayer directly credits OTR’s bank
account. The taxpayer does not need to be registered to

website. Note: When making ACH Credit payments through
your bank, please use the correct tax type code (00400)

Penalties and Interest
OTR will charge:
A penalty of 5% per month if you fail to file a return or pay
any tax due on time. It is computed on the unpaid tax for
each month or fraction of a month, that the return is not filed
or the tax is not paid. It may not exceed an additional
amount equal to 25% of the tax due;
A 20% penalty on the portion of an underpayment of
taxes if attributable to negligence. Negligence is failure
to make a reasonable attempt to comply with the law or to
exercise ordinary and reasonable care in preparing tax
returns without the intent to defraud.
One indication of negligence is failure to keep adequate
books and records;
Interest of 10% per year, compounded daily, on a late
payment;
A one-time fee to cover internal collection efforts on any
unpaid balance. The collection fee assessed is 10% of
the tax balance due 90 days after the issuance of a notice of
enforcement.

attributable to fraud (see DC Code §47-4212).
