Tax Considerations

This table includes tax considerations that could impact the company:

Company and Division

You should understand any special dispensations that the company has arranged with state or local jurisdictions for collecting sales and use taxes at a reduced rate. Then consider whether tax returns are filed for one company or for multiple companies.
