business taxes

Company government payments

Business taxes are levies governments impose on commercial enterprises, distinct from personal income taxes.

They include corporate income tax, payroll taxes, sales taxes collected from customers, and various fees and licenses.

The new business taxes hit small retailers hardest.

A business's tax burden depends heavily on its legal structure—sole proprietorship, partnership, or corporation.
