"OnPoint handles our payroll, bookkeeping, sales tax filings, and annual business tax return. Everything is accurate and on time. Having a reliable Bronx tax accountant on our side lets me focus on running my restaurant."

Kevin L.

Owner, Golden Dragon Restaurant — Bronx, NY

"I needed a New Jersey accountant who truly understood small business taxes and S-Corp elections. OnPoint nailed both. The S-Corp election they recommended saved me over $8,000 in self-employment tax last year alone."

Rachel B.

Common Questions

Sales Tax Questions — Answered

The questions NYC and NJ business owners ask most about sales tax compliance.

The combined NYC sales tax rate is 8.875% — made up of the NYS rate (4%), the NYC rate (4.5%), and a Metropolitan Commuter Transportation District (MCTD) surcharge (0.375%). Some items are exempt from city or state tax but not both, which is why the effective rate on a given transaction can vary. We handle the calculations so you collect and remit the right amount.

It depends on the type of service. New York taxes some services (e.g., information services, certain repair services, interior design) but not others (e.g., professional services like legal, accounting, and medical). The rules are detailed and frequently misunderstood. We'll review your specific services and tell you exactly what's taxable — this is a common area where businesses either over-collect or under-collect.

NYS and NJ can assess back taxes, interest, and substantial penalties for unfiled sales tax returns — and they do conduct audits. The best course of action is to come forward voluntarily before they contact you. We prepare all outstanding returns, calculate your actual liability, and can request penalty abatement in many cases. Voluntary disclosure often results in significantly reduced penalties.

Filing frequency depends on your annual sales tax liability. Businesses with less than $3,000 in annual tax file annually; $3,000–$300,000 file quarterly; over $300,000 file monthly (and may need to remit more frequently). NYS assigns your filing frequency when you register, but it can change as your business grows. We track your frequency and file on time every period.

Yes, if you have economic nexus in New York — which means more than $500,000 in NY sales and more than 100 transactions in the prior four quarters. NY was one of the first states to adopt economic nexus rules, and enforcement has increased significantly. If you're selling online and shipping to NY customers, we can run a nexus analysis and get you registered and compliant.
