Tax Jobs in Los Angeles

Market context

State and Local Tax (SALT) professionals advise businesses and individuals on tax compliance, planning, and controversy issues related to state, county, and municipal tax laws. This discipline encompasses a broad range of taxes, including sales and use, property, franchise, and various excise taxes specific to California.

California's complex and high-tax environment, coupled with diverse local jurisdictions (e.g., Los Angeles County, City of Los Angeles), creates substantial demand for SALT expertise. The state features a 7.25% statewide sales tax, with local additions pushing combined rates up to 10.25% in some areas. Franchise Tax Board (FTB) and California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA) are the primary state agencies, alongside county assessors for property tax. Los Angeles also has its own Business Tax administered by the Office of Finance.
