Law firm clients: San Francisco payroll expense tax reminders for law firms

Businesses, including law firms, are reminded of two important changes in the San Francisco payroll expense tax for 2017 — a decrease in the tax rate and the requirement for quarterly estimated tax payments. (The Office of the Controller, City and County of San Francisco announced that for tax year 2017 the Payroll Expense Tax Rate is 0.711%, down from 0.829% for 2016.) Additionally, 2018 is the last year of the payroll expense tax. Starting in 2019, businesses pay only the gross receipts tax.

For details, see Tax Alert 2017-1764.
