Topic: Texas Margin Tax Issues for Small Business
Cost: Free
Time: 50 minute presentation, 10 minutes Q&A
Instructor: David Fitzgibbons, CPA, CM&AA (Briggs & Veselka Co).
Intended Audience: Small business owners of “chartered” companies doing business in Texas, their controllers, and bookkeepers.
Description: Even though the new “Texas Margin Tax” law has been in force since January 1, 2007, the vast majority of small business owners are not aware of its implications or preparations they should make to prepare for their payments which begin May 15, 2008 for the tax year 2007. Called by some as the largest "tax" ever created by the state legislature, the tax will affect many companies that never have had to pay Texas Franchise Taxes.
This webinar will help small business owners understand what the tax is, the three methods of calculating it (for planning purposes), and what types and sizes of business are most affected.
