State tax obligations for business owners – licenses, sales tax, property tax, withholding, etc. – are a lot to be responsible for.

To help Alabama business owners better understand and master these requirements, the Alabama Department of Revenue (ADOR) invites business owners to ADOR’s free Business Essentials for State Taxpayers (B.E.S.T.) Seminar at 9 a.m. or 1 p.m. Tuesday, April 10, in Huntsville.

The seminar will be held at the Huntsville Taxpayer Service Center, 4920 Corporate Drive, Suite H.

B.E.S.T. Seminars help new business owners navigate through unfamiliar tax complexities while updating current business owners on tax law changes. Conducted by ADOR specialists, B.E.S.T. Seminars offer a brief but comprehensive overview of Alabama’s business taxes, the business owner’s tax obligations, the necessary forms, and other requirements. Seminar attendees also receive information on electronic filing and Alabama’s ONE SPOT (https://revenue.alabama.gov/sales-use/one-spot/), a free internet portal that allows business taxpayers to file and pay state, county, and city sales, use, and rental taxes all in one place.

While there is no charge to attend the B.E.S.T. Seminars, reservations are required to ensure adequate space is available. You can reserve your spot online for either the 9 a.m. session or the 1 p.m. session, or you can call Dicillia Holman or Melinda Richardson at 256-837-2319, Ext. 0.

Seminars last two hours plus additional time for questions and answers. Plan to arrive at least 15 minutes before the scheduled seminar.
