What This Means (2024 FDD)
The 2024 Deka Lash Franchise Disclosure Document states that franchisees are responsible for paying applicable payroll taxes for their employees.
Beyond payroll taxes, the FDD does not explicitly state who is responsible for paying property taxes assessed against the Deka Lash franchise premises. However, the document does state that the franchisee is responsible for locating and securing a franchise site and adhering to all applicable laws and regulations related to owning and operating a Deka Lash facility. This could imply the franchisee is responsible for property taxes, but it is not definitive.
Because the FDD does not clearly address the responsibility for property taxes, a prospective franchisee should seek clarification from Deka Lash regarding who is responsible for these taxes. This information is crucial for understanding the full scope of financial obligations associated with operating a Deka Lash franchise.
