Who is responsible for complying with all local, state, and federal tax requirements for a Buildingstars franchise?

According to Buildingstars's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisee is responsible for complying with all local, state, and federal tax requirements. This includes, but is not limited to, income tax, sales tax, use tax, and any other required tax, along with the proper reporting requirements. Buildingstars is not required to inform the franchisee of any federal, state, municipal, or local law, rule, regulation, ordinance, code, or tax.

This means that as a Buildingstars franchisee, you must ensure that you understand and adhere to all applicable tax laws and regulations. This includes accurately calculating, reporting, and paying all required taxes on time. Franchisees should consult with a qualified tax professional to ensure compliance with all tax obligations.

Buildingstars also requires the franchisee to indemnify and/or reimburse Buildingstars and its affiliates for all capital, gross receipts, sales, and other taxes and assessments imposed by any applicable state or local governmental authority as a result of the conduct of the Business or the license of any of Buildingstars or its Affiliates' intangible property to franchisee (whether required to be paid by Buildingstars or its Affiliates, withheld by franchisee or otherwise). However, this indemnification does not extend to income-type taxes imposed on Buildingstars or its affiliates' income.
