I’m excited to launch this blog, which I hope will become your information source for news and opinions focused on the California Enterprise Zones and tax professionals.  And we’ve launched this blog early this morning, the week directly after National Payroll Week.

National Payroll Week celebrates the hard work by America’s 156 million wage earners and the payroll professionals who pay them. Together, through the payroll withholding system, they contribute, collect, report and deposit approximately $1.7 trillion, or 64.2%, of the annual revenue of the U.S. Treasury.

And it is with the accounting industry in mind I would like to discuss the what we do as a company, C & I Tax helps companies and tax professionals in each of the California Enterprise zones take full advantage of all the available credits for businesses operating in these locations.
