Ironbound is one of Newark's distinctive business communities. The bustling Portuguese, Brazilian, and Spanish dining and small-business 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 Ironbound.
As part of the greater Newark, NJ economy within Essex County, Ironbound 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 Newark 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.
