EMPLOYMENT TAX Strategic Approach to Enhanced Profitability RYAN S STRATEGIC APPROACH AND INSIGHT INTO OUR FUTURE EMPLOYMENT TAX LIABILITIES HELPED CONTROL COSTS, ELIMINATE UNDERPRICING, AND ENHANCE PROFITABILITY. Doug Black, Chief Financial Officer SEATON CORP

Employment Tax Employment taxes represent one of the largest single tax liabilities for a company, and controlling this substantial liability requires the proper processes and controls for effectively managing employment tax reporting and compliance. However, in today s turbulent environment, tax executives are continuously challenged with managing increased administrative costs and demands for greater transparency, while facing reduced resources. These challenges are compounded as states become more aggressive and compliance requirements become significantly more complex. Ryan s Employment Tax advisory services leverage proven methodologies and experience, delivering substantial tax savings in every major area of state, local, and federal tax for many of the world s most respected companies. As organizations continue to expand their global footprint, payroll departments are challenged with meeting the complex and varied demands of effectively and efficiently managing tax liabilities across multiple tax jurisdictions. Ryan s comprehensive consulting and advisory services help clients address the unique challenges of corporate expansion. We provide the essential resources, skills, and expertise required to manage multi-jurisdictional legislative and compliance requirements, while enabling the payroll department to strategically support and develop corporate objectives.

Proven Employment Tax Solutions Ryan s Employment Tax practice provides a comprehensive suite of advisory and consulting services to help control employment tax liabilities by identifying every opportunity to recover overpayments, implement solutions for prospective improvement, minimize audit assessments, and achieve process and system efficiency. We have comprehensive expertise in all applicable employment tax issues, including worker classification, multistate withholding requirements, executive compensation, employee benefits, reporting requirements, and tax minimization strategies. Employment Tax Refund Review Mergers and acquisitions trigger a multitude of employment tax issues and often create significant savings opportunities. However, they are often overlooked due to lack of resources within the employment tax area. Ryan s employment tax refund reviews examine past transactions to identify every possible opportunity to recover overpayments. We also help identify employment tax planning opportunities that generate future savings for improving profitability and meeting overall business objectives. Our performance-based fee structure mitigates financial risk and eliminates the need for additional budget resources. Strategic Tax Advisory Ryan will ensure that the proper processes and controls are in place to effectively manage costs and mitigate the risk of overpayments, underpayments, and inaccurate financial reporting. We will enhance the efficiency and accuracy of the entire employment tax administration process and ensure the proper measures are in place to effectively defend our client s position in the event of an audit. Through careful analysis of employment tax policies and procedures, we identify opportunities to strengthen processes and enhance transparency, accountability, regulatory compliance, and tax administration. Ryan identifies refunds associated with employment tax overpayments and provides strategic advice to enhance internal controls, improve processes, and mitigate risk. State Unemployment Tax Management State unemployment tax rates are revised annually and are based on the employer s employment experience from previous years. States have become more aggressive, and their tax laws are increasingly more complex. Ryan s Employment Tax professionals work alongside our client s tax professionals, guiding them through the intricacies and constantly evolving nature of employment tax administration. We help forecast state unemployment tax rates, evaluate voluntary contributions and joint account elections, manage state unemployment tax rates, and identify savings opportunities to capitalize on every tax minimization opportunity. 04

We implement strategies that reduce associated tax liabilities and help ensure all regulatory compliance requirements have been fulfilled. Guiding clients through a meticulous due diligence review, we identify any potential risks and opportunities to reduce costs and the overall tax burden associated with the transaction. Payroll System Implementation Assistance Whether your company is implementing a new payroll system or upgrading an existing one to the newest version, it is imperative to ensure that the new or upgraded system continues to calculate paychecks and payroll taxes correctly. Ryan s Employment Tax professionals have years of experience in all phases of payroll system testing, including the design and implementation of test procedures, performing integration and parallel testing, and identifying and resolving discrepancies. We partner with Information Technology (IT) personnel and functional users throughout the project to ensure that the overall business objectives are achieved. Ryan s Employment Tax practice will significantly reduce tax liabilities associated with mergers, acquisitions, and restructuring activities.
