[02:28] Being on the hook for the amount owed is one of the more benign repercussions for a company's failure to satisfy tax withholding and reporting obligations.

[04:00] The rate at which to deduct tax from your employees and the withholding review frequency very much depend on the type of award, and each have their pros and cons.

[07:49] The rate application for withholding and reporting obligations depends on the withholding method and the recently modified F.A.S.B. rule will undoubtedly have an impact.
