Read Time:1 Minute, 41 Second

Harrisburg, Pa. — New business owners will have the opportunity to learn important tax tips on June 22 during a state tax seminar in Norristown hosted by the Department of Revenue.

The free event, “New Business 101: Tax Tips and Resources,” is a continuation of a program the department developed to provide entrepreneurs with information on state tax obligations and help them achieve success in managing their new businesses. It is also another step the Wolf Administration is taking to support the business community in Pennsylvania.

“This event is part of our effort to keep an open dialogue with members of the business community,” Revenue Secretary Dan Hassell said. “We want business owners to have the information that will help them build a strong foundation for future success.”

The Norristown state tax seminar follows other seminars the Department of Revenue organized in Harrisburg and Pittsburgh. The event will feature presentations from department tax experts who routinely work with the public and recognize the challenges many new business owners are facing. Discussions will focus on effective record keeping, what constitutes trust fund taxes and how to account for them, collecting sales and use tax, and potential pitfalls to avoid, as well as other topics.
