August 4, 2009

Once a business owner has filed Articles of Incorporation with the Indiana Secretary of State, congratulations are in order – the corporation has just become an entity. After celebrating this milestone, the corporation now assumes all liabilities and debts of the company. And all income from the corporation is taxed, while individual income taxes are withheld from employees’ wages.

Sound confusing? This is where the New and Small Business Education Center can be a great resource to corporations – guiding them through the complicated state tax process. A corporation needs to register with the Department if the business:

  • Sells products or tangible items
  • Has employees
  • Sells food and beverages
  • Rents accommodations for less than 30 days
  • Rents motor vehicles
  • Distributes gasoline or special fuel
  • Sells tires
  • Sells fireworks

Everything a business owner could need to better understand the state tax process is found at the New and Small Business Education Center. Available 24/7, this invaluable online tool is the place for businesses to update information, apply for new taxes and find the appropriate form they need – for any business type. To visit the New and Small Business Education Center, go to www.smallbiz.in.gov/
