Case Study: Dairy producer achieves timely, compliant 40-state reorganization with Equifax Employment Tax Services

Dairy producer - Customer Case Study

The client, a large dairy producer operating in 40 states, planned a January 1 internal reorganization that would consolidate numerous legal entities into two and transfer assets and employees. Because the company used a third‑party payroll provider and faced complex, time‑sensitive employment tax rules (including SUTA dumping notification and transfer requirements), it lacked the in‑house personnel and experience to manage the significant compliance risks.

After attending an Equifax Employment Tax Services webcast, the client engaged Equifax to develop a detailed work plan and manage all employment tax tasks. Equifax coordinated with the payroll provider, prepared registrations, handled SUI experience transfers and account closures, monitored filings, and acted as the agency point‑of‑contact — including protesting incorrect rate assignments. The reorganization was completed from an employment‑tax perspective timely and efficiently, allowing the client’s staff to focus on daily operations.
