Video for small businesses

Employment Security is one of several agencies that created a new video to help businesses plan for and pay their state taxes.

It answers basic questions, such as:

  • Which taxes and what rate businesses must pay,
  • How and when to file state taxes, and
  • What steps a business owner can take to plan ahead.

The video, which is also available in closed caption for the hearing impaired, can be found at http://business.wa.gov/tax_video.aspx.
