Your BOE customer can tell you lots of horror stories. <BR/><BR/>The good thing for your co-owners is that if you don't pay, the BOE can simply take your personal bank accounts. Same with payroll taxes. They also skip right through the entity to anyone who writes checks. Maybe you should hand off check writing to Michael :)rayipsahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12320205893779631427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7150649422744296369.post-79984341228968111692008-09-18T09:43:00.000-07:002008-09-18T09:43:00.000-07:00I've been careful to get them the amount they're o...I've been careful to get them the amount they're owed each month.

They'll send a state marshall to stand next to your register and take out cash as it goes into the register until they are paid off. Nice.<BR/><BR/>Remember, it's not your money, it's the states...<BR/><BR/>My first year owning the store, I was on annual payment basis. It was 1999, the first year Pokemon came out. Like an idiot, I wasn't putting the money aside as I received it. So, when the year was up, I owed something like $50,000 in sales tax - and of course I didn't have that money around. So they allowed me to pay them back over the course of 25 weeks or something. Every Friday, I had to go to the BOE office and give them my $2000 check. It was brutal, but I survived.librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00910979028549627470noreply@blogger.com
