What Stamford offices should know before leasing a copier

• Connecticut's 6.35% sales tax on most goods covers leases and rentals, so it appears on every lease payment for a Stamford office.
• Stamford borders New York. If a lease or purchase comes from an out-of-state company that does not collect Connecticut tax, DRS says the business owes Connecticut use tax on goods whether purchased, leased or rented. Tax correctly paid to the other state is credited against it.
• The FTC suggests planning copier security before acquisition and having IT staff manage the device. Encryption makes stored scans readable only by specific software, and a passcode lock on the drive adds another layer.
