Throp, this channel is getting better and better every day, I am new to starting my business in Jamaica and I have learned and gathered so much information today and also from your other podcasts , Thanks 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@user-bp1qv8hi7j]

Good day Throp, I am currently staying at Traveller's with my daughter. Actually, we sat across from you yesterday at Brunch. I so badly wanted to come over and introduce myself but didn't want to intrude. Anyway we are having a lovely time here. I really enjoy your content but mostly how you deliver it. It is clear that you are an intelligent man but I mostly respect and admire your emotional intelligence. You come across very humble and get the best from your interviewees; as the seem very comfortable with you. Congratulations with this channel and I look forward to see you grow beyond.

To correct the moderator, the US does not have a one stop shop for annual returns…in the US, these are two separate docs, annual return is filed with your local secretary of state and the other is income tax return which is filed with the IRS.

Thanks for this,...although I wish this was posted last week. I needed this information desperately. It is difficult trying to get through to them on the phone. After numerous attempts and long holds I finally was able to get through to them and received this same information. The agent was very kind and patient but this would have saved me a lot of phone credit😅. Great information Winthrop. Appreciate this channel a lot.

Thanks to the moderator for raising the suggestion that annual return be merged with tax returns. So inefficient to separate them. Always wondered why they refuse to combine them in the first place, making the process so cumbersome. Hoping they will change this soon.

I have no idea about that one stop shop in the US, because I had to registered one place and my tax is somewhere else so I have no idea about that one stop shop.

They are currently updating the online services. More services are available.

Yes you can I'm looking to start one, there is not a lot on the island so there is a niche. Want to do some individual partnership?
