Gov. Lee Delays Professional Privilege Tax Due Date

Posted by: Stacey Shrader Joslin on Apr 6, 2020

Gov. Bill Lee has issued Executive Order 24 declaring that a state of emergency continues to exist in Tennessee, extending a number of statutory and regulatory deadlines, and suspending a number of laws. Among the changes, Lee extended the due date of the professional privilege tax from June 1 to July 1. The state Department of Revenue has issued guidance on the change saying that interest and late filing penalties will not apply to returns filed and payments made on or before the new due date. View the notice or visit the department’s COVID-19 website for more information.

Among its other provisions, the governor’s order extends application of the Tennessee Price-Gouging Act of 2002 for an additional 15 days to April 18; eases licensing requirements for those who have completed a master’s or doctoral degree in behavioral or mental health; extends the expiration date of valid marriage licenses until June 30; extends the filing date for conflict of interest forms to July 15; and replaces language in the March 19 executive order allowing state agencies to implement processes to safeguard the health, welfare, and safety of certain employees.
