as they should
ReplyDeleteThey should give the collecitons job to Gwen Grant and the Urban Summit gang. Those folks have lots of practice and really know how a shakedown works.
ReplyDeleteJust one more reason companies will locate outside of KCMO. The KCMO Revenue Division has some of the most incompetent employees I have ever dealt with. They lost sensitive taxpayer data provided by the IRS so now the IRS will not even share info with them. When the IRS thinks you're incompetent that is really saying something.
ReplyDeleteWonder if the illegals, aka hard working day laborers pay this tax?? I doubt it.
ReplyDeleteMost of the larger companies don't pay E-tax because of TIFs. Why should the day laborers pay?
ReplyDeleteI am an employer who withholds e taxs. I called the Finance department to inquire about exactly what my filing requirements are that this post mentions. I am still on hold after 9 minutes, ... now 11 minutes ... finally at 14+ minutes I get a person, "Kim." .
ReplyDeleteCan a penalty be imposed on the Finance Department if they fail to timely answer their phone to respond to an employer/e tax withholders question?
The biggest culprits aren't the small guys. The most major offenders are the big corporations who send people in to work or have regional and district offices and just don't collect.
ReplyDeleteNow if the city wants to attract business rather than watching it walk across the state line perhaps they would consider tightening the old belt and dropping the tax before business drops KC. Anyone who is anyone looks at this tax as just another way KC ties to leach off anyone and everyone with no real benefit to those paying the tax.
