Bergen-Lafayette is one of Jersey City's distinctive business communities. A revitalizing residential and small-business area. Whether you run a storefront, a service company, or a home-based venture here, Tides Bookkeeping keeps your books accurate, categorized, and ready for tax season - without you ever leaving Bergen-Lafayette.
As part of the greater Jersey City, NJ economy within Hudson County, Bergen-Lafayette businesses share the same New Jersey tax and compliance landscape as the rest of the area. Our remote-first process means you get a dedicated bookkeeper and clean monthly financials no matter where in Jersey City you are located - reconciled accounts, categorized transactions, and monthly profit-and-loss and balance-sheet reporting you can actually use.
New Jersey carries one of the highest tax loads in the country - a graduated income tax that tops out at 10.75% on income over $1 million, and the nation's highest corporate rate (a 9% Corporation Business Tax plus a 2.5% Corporate Transit Fee surtax, reaching 11.5% on net income over $10 million). Sales tax is a flat 6.625% statewide, but in the roughly 37 Urban Enterprise Zone cities - Newark, Jersey City, Paterson, Elizabeth, Trenton, Camden, and more - qualifying retailers charge half that rate (3.3125%). Newark and Jersey City also levy a 1% employer payroll tax. Keeping income, corporate, sales, and local payroll taxes all reconciled is exactly what we keep clean.
