The mission of the Department of Revenue Administration is to fairly and efficiently administer the tax laws of the State of New Hampshire, collecting the proper amount of taxes due, incurring the least cost to the taxpayers, in a manner that merits the highest degree of public confidence in our integrity. Further, we will provide prompt and constructive assistance to the municipal units of government in matters of budget, finance, and the appraisal of real estate.
Announcements and Notices
After much consideration and review, the tax deadline for the State of New Hampshire will remain April 15, 2021. We feel any extension to the April 15, 2021 due date, even by one month, risks causing confusion and does not offer meaningful relief to taxpayers who will still need to complete their 2020 tax return in order to calculate the estimated tax payment that continues to be due on April 15, 2021. Instead, the NHDRA will focus on offering taxpayers excellent customer service and assisting them in taking advantage of the several existing options for New Hampshire taxpayers that need additional time to file their returns.
