Franchise Entrepreneur To Testify On Unfair State Taxes

IFA:

Firehouse Subs Chief Financial Officer Stephen Joost will appear before the U.S. House of Representatives’ Committee on Small Business in Washington, D.C., tomorrow to express the franchising industry’s growing concerns about business activity taxes. These taxes, imposed by some states, create unfair financial burdens on businesses that have no physical presence in the taxing jurisdiction. Franchised businesses could be especially hard-hit.
