Revenue Continues Outreach to New Business Owners with Free Tax Seminar in Harrisburg

Earlier this month the Department of Revenue continued its efforts to provide support for new business owners by hosting New Business 101: Tax Tips for New Businesses. The free seminar is designed to help entrepreneurs achieve success in managing their new businesses.

The seminar was held in Harrisburg, where new business owners listened to presentations from Department of Revenue tax experts who routinely work with the public and recognize the challenges that many new business owners are facing. The seminar focused on important filing obligations, taxes a business owner should be aware of, effective record keeping, resources available to business owners and other helpful tips.

Revenue staff also encourage new and existing business owners to check out the Pennsylvania Business One-Stop Shop, a multi-agency initiative established by Gov. Tom Wolf that provides knowledge, information and resources for businesses both large and small.
