Tax Services in Morgantown for Small Businesses

Morgantown businesses answer to West Virginia's corporate net income tax and personal income tax, but many West Virginia municipalities also levy their Business and Occupation (B&O) tax, a gross-receipts-based local tax entirely separate from state filings

Missing that local layer is one of the most common gaps we see in businesses new to the city. Profitjets prepares your corporate and personal return, files your Morgantown municipal B&O tax based on actual gross receipts. We register your sales tax at the correct combined city rate.

Morgantown's Municipal B&O Tax & Sales Tax

Morgantown's municipal B&O tax is charged on gross receipts, separate from and in addition to state income tax, and it's easy to miss if you've never operated in a West Virginia city with one. The city's sales tax layer sits on top of the state rate as well.

We register you for the municipal B&O tax, calculate it off your actual gross receipts, and file your sales tax at the correct combined city rate.

Municipal B&O Tax We Didn't Know Applied to Us
