Local sales tax can be set by counties and cities, at 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 1.75%, or 2%. A foreign business has nexus in Nebraska if it has physical presence. Remote sellers must collect sales tax if in the previous or current calendar year they have sales exceeding $100,000 or if they have made 200 or more separate transactions. A Sales Tax Permit must be obtained for each location in Nebraska. A business must file the Nebraska Tax Application (Form 20) to receive a Nebraska Sales Tax ID Number and PIN. Note: When registering a new business, besides Sales Tax, you can also register for Business Income Tax and Income Tax Withholding at the same time. Nonprofit organizations making sales must obtain a Nebraska sales tax permit and may qualify for exemption from paying sales tax on specific purchases.

DOL Changes Wage Data Source to FLAG Website 2024

If you’re responsible for managing payroll compliance at your company, the Department of Labor (DOL) has introduced a significant update you must be aware of. As of July 1, 2024, the Foreign Labor Certification (FLC) Data Center website, which has been the go-to resource for prevailing wage data, was replaced. From that date forward, all wage data has been available through the Foreign Labor Application Gateway (FLAG) website.

California Nonprofit Filing Requirements 2024

Nonprofit organizations play an important role in our communities. They provide essential services, advocate for important causes, and create positive social impact. If your organization is a recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit, you enjoy specific tax-exempt benefits granted by the federal government. These benefits are well worth protecting. Maintaining your nonprofit status requires staying organized and on top of important deadlines. The various filing requirements can feel overwhelming, and missing due dates can lead to penalties or even revocation of your tax-exempt status.
