What does “tax compliance” include?
Compliance means filing accurate returns on time, paying the right amounts, keeping support documents, and responding properly to notices. It spans income taxes, payroll taxes, sales/use tax, 1099s, and entity/state requirements.
Common small-business compliance pitfalls
Missed deadlines, incorrect sales tax rates, delayed payroll deposits, misclassified contractors, and inadequate record-keeping are common issues that businesses often face. These problems can result in significant penalties, accumulating interest charges, and increased exposure to audits, causing financial and operational difficulties. Addressing these challenges promptly is essential to avoid costly consequences and maintain compliance with regulations.
