How redomesticating is the first step (not the last) to ending tax obligations in your prior state
from #LegalBytes: The Official Podcast of Cummings & Cummings Law · host Cummings & Cummings Law
Attorney and CPA Chad D. Cummings presents this powerful presentation exposing a costly mistake many business owners make after moving to a low tax state. Just because you changed your personal residency, updated your address, and even redomesticated your company does not mean you have escaped your old state's taxes. Tax nexus is the legal connection that keeps your company liable for income tax, sales tax, franchise tax, and more in the prior state based on employees, customers, inventory, or economic activity there. This presentation clearly explains the critical difference between changing your company's domicile and actually severing tax nexus, why involving your CPA from the very beginning is essential, and the exact steps needed to properly close tax accounts and avoid back taxes, penalties, and interest. Redomestication is the correct legal first step to move your company to Florida or Texas while preserving your FEIN, contracts, credit history, and bank accounts with no new entity and no federal tax consequences, but it must be coordinated with your CPA and a real reduction in business activity in the old state. If you have moved or are planning to move your business, this presentation could save you tens of thousands of dollars. Learn more: https://www.cummings.law/redomestication/
