Description
When it comes to taxes, what you don’t know can hurt your business.
CBIA’s 2011 Connecticut Tax Conference gives you up-to-date information on our state’s complex and changing business taxes. This half-day conference includes a legislative update, including a special session on how the new state budget affects income tax, corporation business tax, and sales and use tax; a plenary session on managing sales and use tax audits; and in-depth breakout sessions focusing on
- income tax issues, employment tax compliance, and state taxation of corporations and pass-through entities (such as partnerships, S-corporations, and LLCs)
- sales and use taxes for the manufacturing, construction, and service industries
This annual program (which qualifies for 3.5 CPE credits) is a must for finance/accounting professionals, sole practitioners, managing partners, business owners, and other professionals serving the tax needs of their businesses or business clients. Attendees receive a complimentary copy of Connecticut Taxes on Business and Industry, a comprehensive guide updated through 2010.
