New Hampshire levies no statewide general sales tax — one of only five states where that is true. For professional services & consultants that removes the single largest source of quiet liability, and shifts the work onto payroll, entity filings, and the obligations noted below.
Employer registration runs through the New Hampshire Department of Employment Security, and the entity is registered with the New Hampshire Secretary of State. No sales tax and no wage income tax, but the Business Profits Tax and Business Enterprise Tax both apply above modest thresholds.
