UPDATE: B&O Tax Deferment Due to COVID-19
To support the viability of local businesses during the COVID-19 related emergency, the Snoqualmie City Council authorized the Mayor to temporarily defer or extend obligations imposed under Chapter 5.08 of the Snoqualmie Municipal Code relating to business and occupation (B&O) taxes. Therefore, the City Council passed Ordinance 1229 on April 13, 2020.
As of October 31, 2022, the Washington State of Emergency was ended by the Governor, therefore the City of Snoqualmie has ended its emergency declaration and is transitioning back to the regular B&O tax return submission and payment schedules.
The transition period for B&O tax returns and payments will end as of the first quarter 2023. Business customers should begin providing their first quarter 2023 B&O returns and payments by the due date April 30, 2023. After that time the City of Snoqualmie will require business customers to pay penalties on late B&O tax payments as per SMC 5.08.
