Arizona Transaction Privilege Tax (TPT)
Transaction Privilege Tax, known as TPT, comes up regularly in Kara's conversations with Arizona business owners. Licensing questions tend to center on commercial rental income, subleasing, and general sales or retail activity, and the Arizona Department of Revenue administers the tax.
A recent change causes some confusion. On January 1, 2025, Arizona repealed the city TPT on long-term residential rentals of 30 days or more, but city TPT on commercial rentals is still in effect. Because the answer depends on what your business does, it can pay to check before you rent space or open for sales, not after.
