Does Eos Worldwide have liability for sales taxes related to the franchisee's business?

According to the 2025 Eos Worldwide Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are responsible for the withholding and payment of local, state, provincial, federal, national, or international sales and goods and services taxes. Franchisees must operate their franchise in compliance with all applicable laws, ordinances, by-laws, and regulations. This includes all government regulations relating to occupational hazards and health, safety, privacy, worker's compensation insurance, unemployment insurance, the ADA, workplace safety, and withholding and payment of various taxes.

This means that Eos Worldwide franchisees are responsible for understanding and adhering to all tax laws relevant to their specific location and business operations. They must ensure that they properly collect, report, and remit sales taxes as required by the applicable tax authorities. Failure to comply with these obligations could result in penalties, fines, and legal repercussions for the franchisee.

Eos Worldwide does not assume responsibility for the franchisee's compliance with these tax obligations. It is crucial for prospective franchisees to consult with tax professionals and legal advisors to fully understand their responsibilities and ensure they are meeting all requirements. This includes staying up-to-date with any changes in tax laws and regulations that may impact their business.
