Business privilege and mercantile tax (BPM) is a tax assessed on the gross receipts of specific types of businesses, commonly retailers and wholesalers. Originating from the Pennsylvania Local Tax Enabling Act of 1965, this tax serves as compensation for businesses availing local governmental services, such as public safety measures.
BPM has undergone multiple changes since 1965. By 1988, the Pennsylvania Local Tax Reform Commission labeled it as a “nuisance tax,” primarily due to inadequacies in the legislative framework and vagueness surrounding the tax base.
Businesses of all sizes face countless tax concerns, with the Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA) being one such consideration. Employers must contribute to FUTA to alleviate the state’s financial burdens regarding reemployment assistance.
One aspect of FUTA that can affect your business is the FUTA credit reduction, which comes into play when a state has unpaid federal loans. This can result in higher FUTA taxes for employers in those states.
Payroll taxes are a fact of life for any business with employees. As an employer, you’re responsible for withholding the right amounts from employee paychecks and sending those funds to the appropriate tax authorities.
Annual withholding reconciliation is the process where you compare all those withheld taxes with the amounts you’ve actually submitted throughout the year. This final step ensures you’re square with the government and your employees receive accurate tax documents.
