The Department of Revenue WebFile registration page for payment and filing of taxes and fees for business. A handy tax guide, broken down into employer withholding, sales and use, materialman sales, meals, room occupancy, pension withholding, alcoholic beverage, sightseeing, vehicle rental, parking, cigar and corporation taxes is available.
- General Tax Information and Forms
The miriad of separate business taxes are outlined with links to major areas of interest. Current tax year information, filing and reporting, logically, are available. Child support services and municipal information clutter these pages for the business user.
- Workers' Compensation Insurance
WCRIB (The Workers' Compensation Rating and Inspection Bureau) pages provide a large volume of information useful to applicants, payers and employees. The data is not organized so much as just presented so finding what you need may be difficult. Luckily, contact information is available at the top of each page.
- Unemployment Insurance Tax
The Massachusetts Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development (EOLWD) site on Mass.gov contains information organized as the Office is. Information for the various stakeholders is tabbed at the top. Unemployment information is presented in the left sidebar. The business resource link eventually lands you at the
Unemployment Insurance Regulations page.
