Troy University’s Dothan Campus will host a series of small business workshops.
The first is a free seminar conducted by the Alabama Department of Revenue focusing on state taxes. The “B.E.S.T” Business Essentials for State Taxpayers Seminar is slated for 1:30 p.m. on Dec. 1 in the University’s Continuing Education Center, Room 206 Adams Hall.
ADOR specialists conduct B.E.S.T. Seminars, which include a brief but comprehensive overview of Alabama’s business taxes, the business owner’s tax obligations, and the forms that are required, as well as information on electronic filing and other requirements. Presenters cover a variety of state tax information topics, including employer withholding taxes, state and local sales taxes, property taxes, and business licensing requirements. The B.E.S.T. Seminars help new business owners navigate through unfamiliar tax complexities while updating current business owners on tax law changes.
There is no charge to attend the B.E.S.T. Seminar but reservations are required and may be made by contacting Kathy Clements or Jennifer Townsend at 334-793-5803.
On Dec. 7, the SBDC will host its Proposal Development Workshop, featuring Jerry Ellison, program manager for the Alabama Procurement Technical Assistance Center.
