Monday, 11/4/2002 — Nashville-based Link2Gov Corp. signed a contract Monday with the state of North Dakota that will allow taxpayers in the Roughrider State to pay their taxes online or over the phone with a credit card.

NashvillePost.com also has learned that Link2Gov recently signed a contract with the state of New York for electronic payment processing of state income taxes online.
Those two significant new contracts follow on the heels of recent agreements Link2Gov brokered with the state of Kentucky and the city of Chattanooga. Link2Gov currently offers services to Metro Government. The e-Government technology solutions provider was selected by the IRS in May to process federal tax payments beginning in January 2003.

North Dakota State Tax Commissioner Rick Clayburgh, a candidate for U.S. Congress, made the announcement regarding Link2Gov today.

Taxpayers choosing to pay their North Dakota income tax with a credit card will be charged a 2.49 percent "convenience" fee by Link2Gov to process the credit card transactions.

Link2Gov President Tom Tarver acknowledged Monday that his company's recent string of successes "proves we've got the right product mix and the right people to get traction in this marketplace."
