quarterly tax

Periodic government payment

Quarterly tax refers to estimated tax payments made four times per year, typically by self-employed individuals and businesses whose income isn't subject to automatic withholding.

In the U.S., these payments cover income tax and self-employment tax owed to the IRS: I set aside money each month for quarterly taxes.

Missing deadlines triggers penalties and interest.
