Internal Communications and Tax
from SALTovation: Navigating the Complexities of State and Local Tax by Aprio
In this episode of the SALTovation podcast, Alex Korzhen, Tram Le, Meredith Smith and Stacey Roberts discuss how companies are increasingly agnostic about hiring as they gain trust and confidence in their remote workforces. This is giving employees more freedom to move about and creating some interesting tax ramifications when either employees fail to tell their employers they are on the move or interdepartmental communications fail. The employer may not even hear about an employee move until tax issues arise. Learn what happens when employee and internal communications fail to account for employees on the move, and what it looks like when they do. Topics discussed in this episode:Navigating the internal communications ecosystem The differences between a VDA and VCAState-by-state income tax ramificationsWhat You Will Learn:[01:44] Client story: Voluntary Compliance Program[06:49] Sales tax by state [10:01] Data mining within departments Quotables:“Recruiting, HR, IT, Finance, and Tax all have regular business activities as part of their daily function and they make decisions that affect state tax obligations. If those decisions are made without the proper steps being taken to get some sort of governmental or departmental licensure, then one department will begin to data mine another.” - Alex Korzhen [09:17]“As we have come out of covid, companies are still barely agnostic about where they hire and allow employees to move around, whether they know it or not. That is where issues arise. Payroll is maybe not getting notified about it until that person goes to file their return. Unfortunately, some companies are behind the eight ball on that. - Stacey Roberts [04:40]“The sales department does a disservice to the finance and accounting department because they either don’t get the right information to charge the right tax in the right jurisdiction, or the right tax at all. It screws up the sourcing for many things.” - Tram Le [08:00]“It is not just payroll we have to worry about. We have to worry about the income tax and the sales tax. Payroll can be messy but finance needs to work with us to make sure all the accounts and files are set up properly. It is a domino affect.” - Meredith Smith [08:40]Subscribe on your favorite podcast app:https://saltovation.captivate.fm/listenhttps://linktr.ee/taxops Follow Us on Socialshttps://www.linkedin.com/company/taxops-llchttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMB1ZQNGXM_F777SIEl8Vjw Talk To A Tax Advocate TodayTaxOps Website: https://taxops.com/contact/Production SupportThis episode was produced with support from Truth Work Media. www.truthworkmedia.com
