This is giving employees more freedom to move about and creating some interesting tax ramifications when either employees fail to tell their employers they are on the move or interdepartmental communications fail. The employer may not even hear about an employee move until tax issues arise. \r\n\nLearn what happens when employee and internal communications fail to account for employees on the move, and what it looks like when they do.\r\n\n \r\n\n \r\n\nTopics discussed in this episode:\r\n\nNavigating the internal communications ecosystem \r\n\nThe differences between a VDA and VCA\r\n\nState-by-state income tax ramifications\r\n\n\n \r\n\nWhat You Will Learn:\r\n\n[01:44] Client story: Voluntary Compliance Program\r\n\n[06:49] Sales tax by state \r\n\n[10:01] Data mining within departments \r\n\n\n \r\n\nQuotables:\r\n\n\u201cRecruiting, HR, IT, Finance, and Tax all have regular business activities as part of their daily function and they make decisions that affect state tax obligations. If those decisions are made without the proper steps being taken to get some sort of governmental or departmental licensure, then one department will begin to data mine another.\u201d - Alex Korzhen [09:17]\r\n\n\u201cAs we have come out of covid, companies are still barely agnostic about where they hire and allow employees to move around, whether they know it or not. That is where issues arise. Payroll is maybe not getting notified about it until that person goes to file their return. Unfortunately, some companies are behind the eight ball on that. - Stacey Roberts [04:40]\r\n\n\u201cThe sales department does a disservice to the finance and accounting department because they either don\u2019t get the right information to charge the right tax in the right jurisdiction, or the right tax at all. It screws up the sourcing for many things.\u201d - Tram Le [08:00]\r\n\n\u201cIt is not just payroll we have to worry about. We have to worry about the income tax and the sales tax. Payroll can be messy but finance needs to work with us to make sure all the accounts and files are set up properly. It is a domino affect.\u201d - Meredith Smith [08:40]","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/9496c96f-b3c5-4173-a70b-51771ebf8a5b/salt-1-bpay1.jpg"}
