Business taxes

As a business, you'll have to pay taxes to different levels of government.

Resources

City business taxes

San Francisco taxes businesses based on gross receipts as well as business personal property like machinery, equipment or fixtures. Some businesses may be required to pay additional taxes based on their business type (e.g. hotels, parking) or business personal property.

State business taxes

The State of California doesn’t just collect sales tax. It also has taxes such as a franchise tax, corporate income tax, and alternative minimum tax. Which taxes apply to you and how you pay them depends on your business type.

Federal business taxes

The types of federal taxes you pay depend on your business structure, the kinds of products or services you offer, and whether or not you have employees. Learn more about Federal income taxes, employment taxes, the excise tax, and self-employment taxes.
