Considerations for corporate tax registration
What are the corporate tax and reporting requirements?

Every corporation must file returns and pay taxes at the federal and state levels, including in its formation state as well as any other state where it transacts business. Business may also be responsible for collecting taxes paid by others and remitting those amounts to the government. Each business has its own specific requirements, which are determined by the business activity, location, and other details.


Most states have sales and use taxes. These are taxes imposed upon the gross amount involved in certain transactions. Sales taxes are primarily imposed on the retail sale of various types of tangible personal property. Several states also impose sales taxes on rentals, sales of services, and other transactions. Use taxes are imposed upon the use, storage, or consumption of tangible personal property not subject to the sales tax. The use tax rate is always the same as the sales tax rate. Businesses are generally required to obtain a license or permit before doing business in the state.
