Washington State (and most other states) charge businesses an excise tax based on specific types of income as well as income thresholds. There are several different filing frequencies that are assigned by each state for submission of these taxes. My Seattle Bookkeeper has well over 20 years of filing State Excise Tax Returns and can help you understand the complexities.
Washington State (and all other states) expect businesses to remit the Sales Tax they have collected from their customers. Sales Tax rates vary greatly and change regularly. From our vast experience, most small businesses struggle staying on top of the changes but it is crucial to collecting and remitting on time. Contact My Seattle Bookkeeper for help.
In 2018, the Supreme Court decision in the Wayfair case vastly changed the landscape of sales tax requirements for out of state businesses. My Seattle Bookkeeper has lots of experience working with businesses that have Nexus presence in various states.
Just like State Excise Tax Reporting, most larger cities require businesses to pay excise tax based on type and threshold of income. These returns can be extremely complicated (in our experience, often more so than State Excise Tax Returns) but My Seattle Bookkeeper has experience filing City Excise Taxes in most cities in Washington State.
Washington State requires that businesses pay a tax on property that it uses to conduct business. This tax is assessed and collected by your local county based on the value and type of equipment. This tax is paid on various items and includes, but is not limited to, machinery, equipment, furniture, government leasehold improvements, and supplies.
My Seattle Bookkeeper thoroughly understands the fear the word "Audit" causes business owners and individuals alike. An Audit is a scary prospect but it does not need to be.
