As a business owner, one of the most important members of your team is your business tax attorney. A business tax attorney assists clients in choosing the appropriate business structure to maximize asset protection and minimize exposure to tax liability. Additionally, a business tax attorney counsels clients in matters related to federal, state, and local tax compliance by ensuring that clients are aware of changes to tax laws. Businesses must pay a variety of taxes including income taxes, sales taxes, and withholding taxes. Some of these taxes must be paid quarterly while others must be paid annually. Failure to pay these taxes may result in the imposition of interest and penalties and may even result in an audit which can be very time consuming and costly for a business.
