Revenue Services has my business' tier level incorrect. What can I do?
Contact Revenue Services at 916-543-3950 to discuss how your business' tier level can be adjusted.
What if my business obtains revenue from more than one of the three non-lodging TBID categories?
Even if your business consists of different types of sales -- for example, a restaurant that also obtains revenue from a gift shop -- your tier level is based on your annual gross revenue. A section on the quarterly and annual TBID worksheets asks business owners to identify which category their business falls into, with one of the choices being "Multi" for businesses that obtain a significant amount of revenue from multiple categories. If you have questions about your business' category type or how to report the TBID collected, please contact Revenue Services at 916-543-3950.
What if I received a letter from Revenue Services about TBID due but I do not believe my business meets the criteria for TBID assessment?
