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 how to get shoppers off their computers and into your business.   It will provide you with tips for utilizing online tools to draw customers into your store and how to make in-store shopping worthwhile.  Some hints on what not to do will be shared, along with examples and plenty of time for discussion.

This unique business-building event will not only offer opportunities to market your services through interactive discussions but will share customer service tips as well as helpful business tips from local resource providers.     

Presenters: Dewey Brandon, Oklahoma Tax Commission and Kelby Owens, REI Oklahoma.

Partners:  Johnson County Chamber of Commerce,  Murray State College; Chickasaw Nation, and REI’s Women’s Business Center.
