New York basics
What New York businesses deal with
New York's state sales tax rate is 4%, and counties and cities add their own rates on top, so the combined rate depends on where you sell or deliver. New York City's combined rate is 8.875%.
Many New York businesses touch more than one level of tax: state, county, and in New York City, city business taxes. We keep the books clean enough that your CPA can sort out which apply.
New York items we keep your books ready for
- Sales tax returns, with the right combined rate for each location you sell in
- Withholding and unemployment insurance reports for employees
- Paid Family Leave and disability coverage, which New York requires employers to carry
- The biennial statement that New York LLCs file with the Department of State
- The publication requirement for new New York LLCs, which is separate from the formation filing
- The elective pass-through entity tax, which some partnerships and S corporations use to manage owner tax
