Taxation Law: Keep Your Business in Compliance

There are many taxes that a business must pay each year. This can be a complicated process, and if your business is not in compliance with the law, you could face penalties. Our latest briefings will help you stay ahead of the game with respect to taxation law.

Income Taxes

One of the most common taxes a business must pay is income tax. This tax is levied against an individual or company’s profits and is based on how much money was earned in a particular fiscal period. There are several different types of income tax, including federal, state, and local taxes.

Businesses must file annual income tax returns and keep detailed records to prove their income was accurately reported. If your business fails to comply with the law, you could be subject to fines or even criminal prosecution.

Property Taxes

Another common tax that businesses must pay is property tax. Property taxes are charged on property owned by a business and are typically based on how much value the property has. In some cases, businesses may be able to reduce their property taxes through special arrangements with their local government.

If your business fails to comply with the law, you may be subject to fines or even criminal prosecution. Additionally, if your company owns property that is subject to delinquent taxes, it may have difficulty selling or leasing its properties until the debt is paid off.
