- Delaware LLCs: formation, operating agreements, and ongoing requirements
A Delaware limited liability company is formed by filing a certificate of formation with the Delaware Secretary of State. This guide explains what the Delaware LLC Act requires, what the operating agreement does, and the recurring obligations that follow formation.
- Independent contractor or employee: misclassification
Misclassification happens when a business treats someone as an independent contractor even though the person legally functions as an employee. The classification can affect minimum wage, overtime, leave, tax withholding, benefits, workplace rights, and protection against discrimination or retaliation.
- Independent contractor vs. employee under U.S. law
Whether a worker is an employee or an independent contractor decides who pays payroll taxes, who is owed minimum wage and overtime, and which workplace laws apply. U.S. law answers the question with several different tests, not one.
- Property tax assessments and how to appeal them
A property tax assessment is the government’s estimate of a property’s taxable value or classification. If you believe the assessment is inaccurate, you can usually ask the assessing authority to review it and, if needed, pursue a formal appeal.
- Tax debt and payment plans
Tax debt usually continues to grow through interest, penalties, and collection costs until it is paid or otherwise resolved. Tax authorities commonly offer payment plans, but approval, payment amounts, interest, and enforcement rules depend on the country, tax type, and your financial circumstances.
