Business Tax Debt Attorney Serving Savannah & Hinesville, Georgia

Business Tax Debt and the IRS

Business tax debt such as sales and payroll tax generally has to be paid in full after filing. However, interest and penalties stop accruing and you can have up to five years to pay the amounts owed.  Under an installment agreement plan with the IRS or State, if you miss a payment, it will generally default or void the agreement. A major advantage to playing through a Chapter 13 case is that if you miss a payment or two, there is no automatic default and you will be afforded time get caught back up. If you are in business, this can be a big advantage as your cash flow changes from month to month.

Types of Business Tax

Anyone who lives in Savannah, Hinesville, or Pooler GA (or any other U.S. city), and owns a business or works in a business is required to file an income tax return each year. Business taxes fall into these groups:

• Income tax. This tax, also known as a pay-as-you-go-tax, is paid as you earn or receive any income during the year. Also during the year, this tax is usually withheld from an employee's salary.
• Self-employment. As the name indicates, this is a social security and Medicare tax that mainly involves people who are self-employed. The tax money provides such social security coverage as retirement plans and hospital services.
• Estimated tax. Taxes are paid on income made during the year, including self-employment.
• Employment tax. As an employer, you must pay certain taxes to cover your employees, such as federal withheld income tax and social security and Medicare taxes.
• Excise tax. You must pay excise taxes and file forms during the year if you own a business that makes or sells certain products, or if you are involved with certain types of equipment, or if you are paid for certain services. Excise taxes may be paid in certain specific areas, such as the retail sale of trucks and trailers, air transportation, and the sale and use of various products.
