West Bluff is one of Peoria's distinctive business communities. An established 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 West Bluff.
As part of the greater Peoria, IL economy within Peoria County, West Bluff businesses share the same Illinois 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 Peoria you are located - reconciled accounts, categorized transactions, and monthly profit-and-loss and balance-sheet reporting you can actually use.
Illinois pairs a flat 4.95% state income tax with two things that catch business owners off guard: some of the highest, most location-variable sales taxes in the country - the 6.25% state rate stacks with county, city, and special-district add-ons, reaching 10.25% in Chicago - and the Personal Property Replacement Tax (PPRT), a separate levy every Illinois business entity owes on net income (2.5% for corporations, 1.5% for pass-throughs). Chicago adds its own home-rule taxes, including a 15% Personal Property Lease Transaction Tax on software and cloud services. We keep every layer straight.
