There are now critical steps you should take as an employer to ensure that you have a smooth Employers Tax Season. The 2010 Employers Tax Season Guide (to be released on 14 March 2010) will help you understand what your responsibilities are as an employer with regard to the new requirements, and what you should be doing to fulfil your tax responsibilities.
