Tennessee Context

Tennessee Has No State Income Tax on Wages — Hall Tax Fully Repealed

Tennessee is one of nine states with no state income tax on wages or salaries. For founders paying themselves a salary from their business, this is a meaningful advantage — particularly for those relocating from higher-tax states.

Tennessee previously imposed the Hall Income Tax on investment income (dividends and interest), but this was fully repealed effective January 1, 2021. Tennessee residents now pay zero state income tax on wages, salaries, and investment income.

Tennessee does impose a 7% state sales tax — one of the highest base rates in the country — plus local taxes that can bring the combined rate to 9.75% or higher in Nashville. For businesses selling taxable goods or services, accurate sales tracking is essential. Tennessee also has a franchise and excise tax on businesses operating in the state, calculated on the greater of net earnings or net worth.

Tennessee's zero income tax on wages is a genuine advantage — but the franchise and excise tax still applies to most businesses. Your CPA handles filing; we keep your books clean.

If you already have a CPA, we work alongside them. If you don't, we can refer you to a trusted partner. Either way, your books will be clean and organised — which is exactly what your CPA needs.

"Do you file my taxes? No — but your CPA will thank you for how clean your books are."
