Does Washington State's B&O tax apply to my foreign-owned LLC registered there?
I formed my LLC in Washington State because I have a friend there who helps me with my business. I'm from Australia and I provide marketing consulting services to clients worldwide. My LLC made about $150,000 last year.
I just learned about the Business & Occupation (B&O) tax. Is this something I need to worry about even though I have no Washington clients? Does registering in Washington alone create a B&O tax obligation?
