Transaction Privilege Tax (TPT) Simplification 

The State of Arizona and its cities and towns are working together to simplify how businesses report and pay their Transaction Privilege Tax (TPT). These efforts are designed to create a smoother, more consistent process for taxpayers across the state.

As part of this transition, all State TPT taxpayers must renew their licenses through the Arizona Department of Revenue, and continue to renew licenses with the appropriate city, including the City of Bullhead City.

This update helps streamline the process and ensures that businesses can more easily report and pay State, County, and City TPT taxes.

Filing TPT for Bullhead City

The City of Bullhead City is part of the state tax collection system. When filing your Bullhead City TPT return:

• Use the State of Arizona tax return form

• Submit your return and payment directly to the Arizona Department of Revenue

• Refer to current business codes and deduction codes on the Arizona Department of Revenue website.

If you need additional assistance, contact the Arizona Department of Revenue on their website for resources and support.
