But in San Francisco, there are a variety of extra taxes and regulatory filings, including:
1. The SF payroll tax. 2. The San Francisco gross receipts tax. 3. A special SF asset test and tax. 4. The San Francisco business registration5. Loads of special tax liabilities and paperwork.
Kruze’s accountants specialize in helping local founders avoid missing compliance deadlines - so they can focus on their business, not on paperwork.
