Questions
Frequently asked questions
Why is so much tax being cut from our payments? +
Withholding rates are set by law and often exceed a business's real liability — especially for filers with losses or exemptions. A certificate is the lawful fix; refunds are the slow one.
How long does a certificate last? +
Certificates are period-bound and need renewal — we run the calendar so coverage never lapses.
We're already over-withheld this year. Now what? +
A certificate protects the future; for the past, see the refunds service — both together stop the bleeding and recover what's owed.
Exemption & Reduced-Rate Certificates, done right.
