What do I need to do to comply with tax laws?
From KNEXT
This question focuses on orientation to what laws and regulations exist at different levels of government. Definitive assessment of a businesses "compliance" should be made by a lawyer, accountant, government agency, or other professional. There are many organizations available to help businesses become compliant with tax law. Think Federal, State, and Local taxes and in some cases with businesses dealing with international clients or shipping/receiving from other countries there may be other taxes.
Needs Assessment
Process to refine the Question:
- Which tax law are you concerned about?
- Was there a recent law change that brought about this concern?
Difficulties often encountered
- Often lawyers and accountants are needed to make real assessment for compliance. It may be helpful to point the business owner to where they can find applicable laws, identify what type of lawyer or accountant they should look, and how to find those in the area.
