AI Overview
Major U.S. cities that impose a local corporate tax on the profits or revenues of corporations, including those based in other states but operating locally, include New York City, Philadelphia, Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Columbus, Detroit, Memphis, Nashville, Seattle, St. Louis, and Kansas City.
Corporate income taxes at the local level are not common throughout the U.S., but a few states (Michigan, Missouri, Ohio, and Pennsylvania) permit them, and other cities use gross receipts taxes or specific business taxes that apply to non-local companies with activity in the jurisdiction.
