Will the Business Have to Pay Its Taxes?
Some state and federal business taxes may be either reduced and repaid or discharged under bankruptcy. In general, when a business files bankruptcy, tax penalties can be discharged. The business will then pay the principal with interest over a five-year period.
A business will typically have numerous types of taxes included in a Chapter 11 filing such as:
- Sales or excise taxes
- Payroll taxes that are paid by the employer (non-trust fund taxes)
- Payroll taxes that are collected by the employer and held in trust (trust fund taxes)
- Property taxes
- Secured claims/IRS tax liens
Because the laws governing business taxes and bankruptcy are extremely complex, your bankruptcy attorney must have familiarity with such cases. Redman Ludwig has the experience to provide business bankruptcy representation for challenging issues such as discharging, reducing and repaying business taxes.
