SACRAMENTO – Board of Equalization Member George Runner will host a telephone townhall for small business owners on
Tuesday, February 4 at 10:00 a.m.
The free event, co-hosted by the National Federation of Independent
Business, will provide specific information to small business owners on
how best to avoid common tax errors.
“Small
businesses are the backbone of our economy, but everyday owners face
challenges with California’s complicated tax laws,” said Runner. “As
their elected taxpayer advocate,
I want to make sure small business owners can be successful and avoid
the pitfalls of California’s tax traps.”
Those wishing to participate may register online at
www.boe.ca.gov/townhall or by calling 916-445-3032.
Individuals who pre-register will receive a telephone call at the start of the event inviting them to connect to the townhall.
The
telephone townhall will inform small business owners about how to
protect themselves from common tax traps such as missing records,
successor liability, underreporting
of tax, and invalid resale certificates. Information about these issues
will help small business owners avoid making potentially costly
mistakes.
Runner will hold a second small business telephone townhall
on Wednesday, February 19 at 2:00 p.m for business owners unable to participate on February 4.
