Lansing is one of Austin's distinctive business communities. A residential and small-business neighborhood. 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 Lansing.
As part of the greater Austin, MN economy within Mower County, Lansing businesses share the same Minnesota 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 Austin you are located - reconciled accounts, categorized transactions, and monthly profit-and-loss and balance-sheet reporting you can actually use.
Minnesota leans on both income and sales. A graduated income tax runs through four brackets and tops out at 9.85%, one of the highest state rates in the country, and the state sales tax is 6.875% - before local add-ons. In the Twin Cities metro, a regional 1% sales tax (0.75% for transit, 0.25% for housing) stacks on top, pushing combined rates past 8%, and a statewide 50-cent Retail Delivery Fee applies to many deliveries of $100 or more. Keeping income, sales, and the delivery fee straight is exactly what we do.
