Business and Occupation Taxes
How can the value of business and occupation taxes (a primary revenue source in Washington State) be found in the Tax Impact output?

Hi Daniel, Thank you for your post. The Business and Occupation tax is not a separate line item in the Annual Survey of Government Finances, it will be lumped in with one of the other categories. Because it is not an end-of-year profit tax, but rather is based on sales (value of production), it is like a sales tax and is likely to be reported as such. It would appear in the Taxes on Production and Importx (TOPI): Sales Tax category. Unfortunately, for this same reason we have no information as to the proportion of the TOPI: Sales Tax that is made up by the Business and Occupation tax.
