Taxation refers to the system of laws and regulations that govern the collection of taxes by a government. Businesses are required to pay various taxes, including income tax, sales tax, and payroll taxes. Tax laws and regulations are constantly changing, so it’s important for businesses to stay up-to-date with the latest developments and ensure that they are in compliance with all relevant tax laws.

Some common tax-related tasks for businesses include:
