The MO Tax Angle

A low state sales tax — and the city earnings tax.

Missouri's state sales tax is a low 4.225%, but Cape Girardeau County's local add-ons push combined rates toward 8-11%, and the state income tax keeps falling on annual revenue triggers (top rate now 4.7%, headed for 4.5%). We keep your combined sales tax and books clean.

Why Tides

Why Cape Girardeau County Business
Owners Choose Tides.

There's no shortage of bookkeepers in Cape Girardeau County — but most are local firms with hourly billing, slow turnarounds, and outdated processes. Tides was built differently.
