BREVARD COUNTY • VIERA, FLORIDA — Changing tax codes and tax laws were a hot topic at the latest quarterly meeting of the Viera/Suntree Business Council.
More than 60 local business professionals came to network and to hear presentations on taxation changes affecting payroll tax, business credits, medicare, trusts and estates. The event was presented by the Melbourne Regional Chamber and Redwire was the event sponsor.
Among the attendees were Denwood Parrish, Claudia Proffitt, Gil Russell, Cara Philpot, Malak Hammad, Todd Werkeiser, A.B. Leyva and Mike Durante. The featured speakers were Joel Boyd, Esquire, of Boyd & Marks; and Brian Fisher, CPA with Berman Hopkins Wright and Laham.
Boyd spoke on taxation changes affecting estates, trusts, annuities and 401k accounts. Fisher discussed the latest business tax laws, and changes to social security and payroll taxes.
An engaging question and answer session followed, in which the speakers fielded questions on corporate tax and tax deductions.
