HR compliance has two main parts. First, you need to identify the laws and regulations that apply to your business, and then, you need to comply with them.
Both can be tricky. Businesses need to comply with federal, state, and local laws in every jurisdiction where they employ workers. Laws also change all the time, and government agencies won’t notify you of changes—it’s your job to stay up to date.
When you think of unemployment insurance tax, you probably think of state unemployment tax first—but there’s actually a federal unemployment tax too.
Both state and federal unemployment tax are taxes that employers pay directly to the government, typically calculated as a percentage of payroll. Employment tax obligations can include federal, state, and local income tax, social security and Medicare tax, and SUTA and FUTA tax. To maintain compliance (and be prepared to pay), employers need to understand which taxes apply to them, how to calculate their liabilities, and when and how to make payments.
Business taxes are necessary for running a business, but sometimes, the rules can feel stacked against you. Double taxation is a particularly frustrating concept: Your company works hard to turn a profit, pays its share of taxes, and then faces another tax bill on those same earnings.
It’s enough to give any business owner, particularly those heading smaller or multi-state operations within the US, a major headache.
However, double taxation isn’t an unbeatable foe.
