The Connecticut Department of Revenue Services recently published an updated version of Form REG-1, Business Taxes Registration Application. This form is used to register businesses for tax-related purposes with the Department of Revenue Services, including income tax withholding.

There are a few changes to the form this year, which was last updated in 2012. These changes include:

  • Under Section 1, “Reason for Filing Form REG-1”, when changing organization type filers must now explain the reason for the change.
  • Under Section 4, “Major Business Activity”, filers must now include their North American Industry Classification System Code (NAICS code) to accompany their description of their major business activities.
  • Under Section 7, “Income Tax Withholding”, a new check box was added for businesses that maintain an office and intend to make payments of pensions, annuities, retirement distributions, or gambling winnings to CT residents.
