San Francisco Proposition M & 2026 SALT Strategies
For the 2026 tax year, San Francisco businesses benefit from Proposition M reforms, which exempt most businesses with under $5 million in local gross receipts from the Gross Receipts Tax. Additionally, Bay Area residents can now leverage the federal SALT deduction cap increase to $40,400. Our partners specialize in navigating these changes alongside the 1.3% SDI withholding rate and the permanent 20% QBI deduction for pass-through entities.
