When are they remitted?

About this procedure
When your company pays a supplier or withholds tax from a payment to a third party, that withheld money isn't yours: it belongs to the government, and you're just holding it for a moment until you remit it to SENIAT. That's the part many business owners find hard to swallow, because it's money that passed through their hands but that they're legally required to report and pay within a fixed deadline. And SENIAT is especially tough on this, because for the tax authority, failing to remit a withholding is almost like keeping public money.
The catch is the calendar. Withholdings have strict remittance dates, which for special taxpayers (larger taxpayers designated by SENIAT) fall twice a month and follow the schedule SENIAT publishes. A single day late already triggers a penalty, and since it's third-party money, the fines for late remittance are among the harshest in the system. It's one of those obligations where carelessness costs a fortune, and where business owners often don't even notice the date until it has already passed.
We make sure your withholdings are filed and paid on time: we prepare the return, reconcile the withholding receipts, calculate what has to be remitted and handle the payment within SENIAT's deadline, so you never get hit with a fine over money that wasn't even yours. The price starts at $65 and is adjusted based on volume. An advisor reviews your case and confirms with you before we start, no strings attached.
