As a new business, it’s so easy to forget all of the tasks you need to do to be compliant.
As a new business owner with Detroit Dough, one of the integral pieces we forgot when we started selling cookie dough was paying our sales tax. Tax is such a common term that we thought if we paid our annual state and federal taxes, we’d be covered. We were SO wrong! By the time we realized we hadn’t been paying sales tax, we were hit with over $800 in fines and interest.
I don’t want this to happen to you, so I’m sharing a few links on how to get started with sales tax. Make sure to pass this along to a fellow business owner!
