The state of Arizona needs an extra year to roll out a new portal centralizing how contractors and other businesses pay their sales taxes.
A new $7 million centralized payment system was supposed to be up and running in January. It is aimed at centralizing sales tax payments for businesses that know they might pay levies to individual cities such as Phoenix, Mesa, Scottsdale, Chandler and Tempe.
Arizona Department of Revenue Director David Raber wrote League of Arizona Cities and Towns Executive Director Ken Strobeck notifying him the implementation was being delayed until Jan. 1, 2016.
