Tax compliance refers to adhering to tax laws and regulations by accurately reporting income, expenses, and other financial details to the relevant authorities. It includes timely filing of tax returns and ensuring all owed taxes are paid by the deadlines. For businesses, maintaining compliance is not only crucial to avoid litigations and penalties but also vital for safeguarding their reputation and financial health.
