The DC metro area stacks federal, district, and state taxes across three jurisdictions. Government contractors and professional service firms leave significant money on the table.
DC top rate 10.75% on income over $1M. High SALT jurisdiction. Surrounding VA (5.75%) and MD (5.75% + county) create multi-jurisdiction complexity.
DC Unincorporated Business Franchise Tax (9.975% on net income over $12K). DC also imposes gross receipts tax for certain activities. Heavy local tax burden.
A DC-area government contracting firm with $6.5M in revenue had employees across DC, Virginia, and Maryland but no multi-state optimization. After restructuring entities by jurisdiction, implementing a cash balance plan, and electing PTET in Virginia, total tax savings reached $178,000.
