Originally posted by blind-bat Works in a retail market, but in a professional services industry, our project rates are set by market conditions and competitors. Just an FYI, payroll taxes and corporate taxes are some of the taxes that can not be passed onto customers since the service business just does not work in this manner.
Payroll taxes are paid by the employee in reality. 1/2 of SS is borne by the company and 1/2 by the employee. Your corp taxes are based upon income. No income no taxes. So it's paid by the end user at any rate since if you had no business you wouldn't pay tax. In any way shape or form it's always the end user paying the bill. It's part of the cost of goods/services any way you look at it.
You really pay no taxes. Government confiscates your money and calls it a tax.
Let's face it. It's all a matter of semantics. I am just having a little fun with you and at your expense.
