Desert Ridge is one of Phoenix's distinctive business communities. A North Phoenix retail, healthcare, and corporate-campus district. 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 Desert Ridge.
As part of the greater Phoenix, AZ economy within Maricopa County, Desert Ridge businesses share the same Arizona 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 Phoenix you are located - reconciled accounts, categorized transactions, and monthly profit-and-loss and balance-sheet reporting you can actually use.
Arizona doesn't have a traditional sales tax - it has the Transaction Privilege Tax (TPT), a tax on the seller for the privilege of doing business, charged on gross receipts. The combined rate stacks the 5.6% state rate with county and city rates, and which of Arizona's 16 business classifications applies determines how your revenue is taxed. The Arizona Department of Revenue is the single point of filing, but the classifications and rates still have to be right - and that's what we keep clean. Arizona also has a flat 2.5% state income tax, the lowest flat rate in the nation.
