Compensations, Computation and Must Know Exemptions

Almost every entrepreneur knows how to hire good people but not every entrepreneur knows how withholding taxes apply to compensation such employees.

Withholding tax on compensation is a must know of every entrepreneur in order to develop a competitive package for employees and to avoid paying penalties for ignorance.  Should you fail to apply withholding taxes on compensation,  the same shall not be allowed as a deduction for income tax computation until you pay the required withholding taxes PLUS PENALTIES, a one-time 25% surcharge based on amount that should have been withheld, 20% interest per annum, and compromise penalties depending on the amount involved.
