Attend Shoals-area
State Tax Seminar on May 16
FLORENCE, May 2,
2017 – State tax obligations can sometimes confuse business owners. Licenses,
sales tax, property tax, etc. – business owners are responsible for many
details. To make that task easier, the Alabama Department of Revenue (ADOR)
invites business owners to come learn the “B.E.S.T.” ways to handle state taxes
at ADOR’s free Business Essentials for State Taxpayers Seminar on Tuesday, May
16, at 9:30 a.m. in Florence.
The seminar will be
held at the Shoals Chamber of Commerce, Shoals Center for Business and Economic
Development, 20 Hightower Place.
ADOR specialists
conduct B.E.S.T. Seminars, which include a brief but comprehensive overview of
Alabama’s business taxes, the business owner’s tax obligations, and the forms
that are required, as well as information on electronic filing and other
requirements. Presenters cover a variety of state tax information topics,
including employer withholding taxes, state and local sales taxes, property
taxes, and business licensing requirements. The B.E.S.T. Seminars help new business
owners navigate through unfamiliar tax complexities while updating current
business owners on tax law changes.
Seminar attendees
receive ADOR’s “Starting a New Business” guide and information about Alabama’s
ONE SPOT, a free Internet filing and payment portal that allows business
taxpayers to file and pay state, county, and city sales, use, and rental taxes all in one place!
While there is no
charge to attend the B.E.S.T. Seminars, reservations
are required to ensure adequate space is available. To make your
reservation for the Shoals B.E.S.T. Seminar, contact Jason Jones at 256-383-4631,
