Smarter Washington Tax Planning

Washington has no income tax, but the B&O tax applies to gross receipts even when a business is not profitable. Our planning focuses on B&O classification, sales tax, federal tax and capital gains on business sales.

B&O Gross Receipts Tax

Washington taxes gross receipts by business classification, not profit. We classify income correctly and file on time.

Destination-Based Sales Tax

Washington sales tax is based on delivery location. We apply the right local rate for each sale.

Washington taxes certain long-term capital gains above a large threshold. We plan around business and asset sales.
