Majority owners on payroll reports
*Enter "N/A" or "None" if there are no majority owners.
EXAMPLE:
A Company is owned by two brothers and each owns 30%. A non-related third party owns the remaining 40%. Because the brothers are related, the constructive ownership rules apply and they are both considered majority owners as if each brother independently owned control on 60%.
