KU center offers tax workshops

Kansas University Small Business Development Center, in conjunction with the Kansas Department of Revenue, will present two tax-related workshops Wednesday at Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, 734 Vt.

The first workshop, “Taxman for Contractors,” will be from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. and is intended for contractors, subcontractors and those in the repair industry, including those working in plumbing, electrical, carpentry, roofing, heating and air, landscaping and other similar services.

The class will cover how sales and use taxes apply to materials, labor, filing returns, billing, exemptions and related issues.

The second workshop, “Meet the Taxman: KDOR State Tax Workshop for Small Businesses,” will be from 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. and feature a discussion on state sales-tax topics, such as sales and employee-withholding taxes. Streamlined sales-tax issues also will be covered.

Cost is $20 for each workshop, or $30 for both.

Preregistration is encouraged, as seating is limited. Call 843-8844, or stop by the office at 734 Vt. to register.
