The FR-500 is D.C.'s required business tax registration form for most new businesses. Filing it correctly is essential before applying for a BBL. We guide you through each field and ensure your registration is properly submitted with the D.C. Office of Tax and Revenue.
D.C. businesses are required to file an annual FP-31 Personal Property Tax Return reporting the value of business furniture, equipment, and fixtures. We help you understand what to report and complete the form correctly to avoid penalties.
