Here are some common penalties:

1. Late Filing Penalties: Tax authorities often impose monetary fines for failing to submit EMP 501 forms by the deadline. These penalties may accrue daily or monthly until the submission is made.
2. Interest Charges: In addition to late filing penalties, tax authorities may assess interest charges on any outstanding employment taxes owed from the date they were due until payment is made. These interest charges can significantly increase the total amount owed over time.
3. Loss of Deductions: In some cases, missing EMP 501 submissions could result in the loss of certain tax deductions or credits that your company would otherwise be eligible for. This could lead to higher tax liabilities and reduced profitability.
4. Legal Action: Persistent non-compliance with employment tax obligations, including repeated failure to submit EMP 501 forms, could lead to more severe consequences, such as audits, liens, or legal action by tax authorities.
