Taxes don't have to be scary—but they do have to be understood. In this episode, Nicole and Alicia break down the essentials of salon taxes in a practical, easy-to-follow way. They cover what HST is and how it works, payroll taxes and remittances, and the basics of business and corporate taxes. You'll learn what each tax is for, how often it needs to be paid, and what money is actually yours versus what belongs to the government.
