With states more aggressively enforcing state and local taxes, manufacturers could be putting themselves at risk of noncompliance—particularly with the tax law changes we’ve seen in recent years. Manufacturers often aren’t aware they may need to file additional state income tax or sales tax returns in other states.
On this episode of Moore on Manufacturing, Mike and James Moore tax director Melody Lechleidner discuss the areas of risk that should concern your company. Areas covered include sales tax (including exemptions for manufacturing), income taxes in other states, and how the value of your business can be negatively impacted if you haven’t been compliant with tax laws.
