  • Epay
    This will take you to the bank site where you can pay online. Please be ready to complete the process before clicking the button. Once you have started the process it locks the report, if you need to restart contact the Beer Wine Tax Desk and they can reset the report. 
    Note: Please have your account information available before clicking the Epay button, sessions time out after 20 minutes.
     
  • File Report
    This is for zero activity or zero balance reports. It will immediately move the report to completed status.

Step 7: Once your report is completed it will be viewable in the completed section
