- What trips people up
- No sales tax and no wage income tax, but the Business Profits Tax and Business Enterprise Tax both apply above modest thresholds.
- Other business tax
- Business Profits Tax and Business Enterprise Tax. The Business Profits Tax is levied on business income, and the Business Enterprise Tax on a base of wages, interest, and dividends paid — so a business can owe the BET while showing no profit at all. Both start at fairly modest levels of activity.
What New Hampshire levies instead
The Business Profits Tax is levied on business income, and the Business Enterprise Tax on a base of wages, interest, and dividends paid — so a business can owe the BET while showing no profit at all. Both start at fairly modest levels of activity. We accrue it as it builds and keep the underlying records in the shape whoever prepares the return will need them.
How we handle New Hampshire in your books
With no statewide general sales tax, New Hampshire bookkeeping turns on the other obligations: employer registration and withholding, entity filings, and the business taxes noted above. We keep those accrued and reconciled monthly so nothing is a surprise.
Either way, the goal is the same — clean, reconciled books your CPA can work from. See how sales tax filing support works or browse everything for New Hampshire.
White Glove Accounting is a bookkeeping firm — not a licensed CPA firm, public accountancy firm, or registered tax preparer. We keep your books clean so your CPA or tax preparer can do their job. Filing deadlines, penalties, nexus determinations, and the acceptance of any return or record are determined solely by the applicable taxing authorities and by your own licensed professionals. Requirements change and vary by jurisdiction; outcomes, timelines, and savings are not guaranteed and will differ by client.
