Taxes are unavoidable. Fortunately, they are simple to prepare for. The best way to accomplish this is to educate yourself on your company’s tax obligations, maintain accurate records, and set aside revenue (or pay ahead in quarterly taxes).
Paying taxes as a small business is a little more difficult than paying taxes as an individual. The amount and type of taxes you file will be determined by several factors, including your company’s legal structure, whether you have employees (and how many), and whether you collect sales tax.
Tax obligation and collection is a particularly tedious aspect of accounting. We strongly advise you to work with a professional to ensure that your company is following proper procedures and laws.
The tax laws are very complex. Our short blog articles cannot cover in full all the nuances of the rules.
