VGCC offers free Tax Seminar to help Small Businesses

Vance-Granville Community College’s Small Business Center will present a free seminar, “Tax Information for Business Start-Up,” on Tuesday, Nov. 18. The seminar will be held from 6 until 9 p.m. on the college’s South Campus , located on N.C. 56 between Creedmoor and Butner.

The seminar is part of a new state effort to help entrepreneurs and small business owners gain a better understanding of important North Carolina tax issues and provide the tools they need to meet their obligations and start their companies on the right foot. The program is a joint initiative of the N.C. Department of Revenue and the N.C. Community College System .

Participants will receive information about a variety of tax laws and the requirements businesses must meet. The seminars will cover five key topics: tax implications for starting a business; tax implications for growing a business; the basics of sales and use tax; the basics of withholding taxes; and dealing with the N.C. Department of Revenue.
