Arizona LLCs have a default tax status as pass-through entities, which means the LLC's income is reported on the members' individual tax return. LLC members are taxed at a 15.3% rate, while LLCs that choose C-corp status are taxed at 4.9%.
The state use tax rate is the same as the state transaction privilege tax (TPT) rate (sometimes referred to as sales tax), currently at 5.6 percent. In addition to state use tax, cities also assess use tax through TPT.
Each municipality and county sets their own tax rate, therefore the total tax rate varies throughout the state. The transaction privilege tax rate for Prescott is 2%. For most business classifications, the combined rate for the State of Arizona and Yavapai County is 6.35%.
A total Transaction Privilege (Sales) Tax rate of 8.35%, (6.35% State and County, 2.00% Prescott), is imposed on the gross income of any person engaging in Construction Contracting. If tax has been neither separately charged nor separately collected, factoring of tax is allowed in computing taxable income.
