Outreach and Education
In early December, the City mailed out the Business and Occupation Tax guide to all businesses currently licensed within the City. If you do not currently hold a City of Renton business license, but would like to be on the mailing and distribution list, please send your name, business name, and mailing address to [email protected] and we will include you on our B&O mailing distribution list.
Beginning in early February 2016, the City has scheduled several Business and Occupation Tax training/informational sessions. These sessions will provide more detailed information to the businesses affected by the new Business and Occupation Tax and how it will be implemented. Since space will be limited at each session, please register for a session that works best for you: City of Renton Business and Occupation Tax Session Registration.
Overview
Businesses with gross receipts of $1.5 million or more per year, earned within the City of Renton, will be required to file and pay B&O tax. Businesses that are required to pay B&O tax do not pay the Per Employee Fee. For more information, please see the City of Renton Business and Occupation Tax Guide or Renton Municipal Code (RMC) Chapter 5-25 (Business and Occupation Tax Code) and Chapter 5-26 (Tax Administrative Code).
