Chevy Chase is one of Lexington's distinctive business communities. An established neighborhood of shops, dining, and small businesses. 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 Chevy Chase.
As part of the greater Lexington, KY economy within Fayette County, Chevy Chase businesses share the same Kentucky 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 Lexington you are located - reconciled accounts, categorized transactions, and monthly profit-and-loss and balance-sheet reporting you can actually use.
Kentucky keeps its state taxes simple - a flat individual income tax that drops to 3.5% in 2026 (down from 4%), a 6% sales tax, and no local sales tax anywhere in the Commonwealth. The complexity is local: nearly every Kentucky city AND county levies its own occupational license tax on the wages you pay and the net profits your business earns - Louisville Metro at 2.2%, Lexington-Fayette at 2.25%, others varying - and a business can owe both a city and a county on the same income, with a credit against the county tax where state law provides one. Keeping every local occupational return straight is exactly what we handle.
