Event Details

Registration begins at 8:30 am.

The Business Tax Workshops offered by the Oklahoma Tax Commission are designed to meet the needs of all business owners, from new businesses to seasoned businesses needing to brush up on the latest tax changes and everyone in between.

For a new business or an individual thinking about setting up a business in Oklahoma, the workshop offers information on formation, business structures, a step-by-step guide to business registration, bookkeeping techniques, and a line-by-line explanation of the primary business tax forms.

The workshop participant will learn the keys to sales tax registration and collection along with helpful tips on rate tables, reporting formats and exemptions.

For an existing business, participants will also learn the steps to filling out the various business tax forms and which forms and tax laws have changed based on the latest legislative decisions.

This session will also focus on small business marketing strategies on a shoestring budget. Learn about low-cost and effective marketing tools, such as social media, e-marketing, networking and more, all which can help stimulate a “buzz” about your business and the products and services offered.
