Annual Government Filings & Minutes - Corporate Maintenance and Compliance
Many new business owners are unaware of the important obligations that must be upheld AFTER they have formed a new business entity. All too often there are accounts of entrepreneurs starting a business, incorporating that business, then failing to comply with various government imposed formalities and filings. There are many ongoing government requirements that small business owners need to comply with, namely: annual government reports/returns and fees, notice of a name change, notices of change of registered office, directors and in certain jurisdictions, their shareholders. These forms are different than tax related forms such as tax returns, GST/PST filings and payroll deductions.

Less research has been done on the returns to health and nutrition than on the returns to education. This is partly because the non-monetary aspects of these returns - greater longevity, reduced suffering and absence of disability - are arguably more central than in the case of education.

What's Returns Have To Do With It?
On a subject I don't talk much about, I wanted to address a subject that does affect retailers, even with a good POS system. And that's about returns. We can't ignore statistics, and these are showing us some important trends in retail fraud. We're finding that fraudulent returns total $9.6 billion a year, according to figures from the National Retail Federation, and a Return Exchange's Retail Returns Study puts the figure at more than $17 billion annually. Returns that come through an automated system like your POS can take the burden of granting returns out of the store's hands. The merchandise tag can be scanned at point of sale and, when a customer c
Choosing the Right Program for Tax Return Preparation and Filing
In recent years every aspect of our lives has been transformed by technology. Just as Google and Online Shopping have become part of our life, preparing and filing Tax Returns is no exception to the internet revolution. Almost 75% of individual tax returns are paperless and received by the IRS through the electronic filing (E-file) service and $180 Billion in tax refunds is paid electronically through direct deposit. Paper Returns are quickly becoming a thing of the past, but there is still the difficulty of choosing the right tax program and getting maximum tax refund from the IRS with peace of mind.
Consider offering guarantees
If you put yourself in the position of a customer for a moment - this will help you to recognise a good method of encouraging your own business customers to purchase from, especially for new customers for their first time! You must have a favourite shop where you buy your clothes from in the high street or even on the Internet these days...and I would take a bet that one of your reasons for buying from this company, aside from the quality of the product etc. is for their returns policy. This is their guarantee to you that if you are not totally satisfied with the item supplied, then you may return the item to the store. A good example of a company that does this kind of returns policy very well is Ikea, as they have a returns policy of 90-days, which is much higher than most and look at how successful this company is.
Audit Proof your Business and Individual Tax Returns
While it is very encouraging to maximize legitimate deductions and receive big tax refund, it can be extremely painful to come under an IRS audit scrutiny. Many in the tax community believe that the audit-free ride for tax payers is likely to get over soon. IRS is likely to step up its audit enforcement in coming years as the federal government decides to close the massive budget deficit gap. IRS audits around 1.2 to 1.5 million tax returns – a small fraction of the total tax returns filed in the US. So, while it is still unlikely that you will be audited, the odds are increasing rapidly in middle to high income groups.

What are the Most Profitable Franchises?
The Mysterious Franchise Profit Report Once someone decides that buying a franchise makes sense, it’s only logical to try and find the most profitable franchise to purchase. After all, given a choice between Franchise A that returns 10 percent per year and Franchise B that returns 15 percent per year, the results should be obvious, right? Well, maybe not. First of all, very few corporations elect to divulge earnings by their franchisees – actually, only about 25 percent of franchisors publish “earnings claims” in the franchise disclosure documents (FDD) they are required by law to provide to prospective franchise owners.
