Everett levies its own city Business & Occupation tax, separate from the state B&O tax, at a flat 0.1% rate on gross receipts — regardless of classification, which is simpler than Seattle's or Tacoma's rate tables. The city does exempt smaller businesses below a minimum gross-receipts threshold, but rather than cite a specific dollar figure we could not verify from a single current primary source, we'll say this plainly: confirm your exact filing requirement with Everett's Business Tax Division before assuming you're under or over the line.

State B&O still applies on top: 0.471% for retailing, and — this is the one that matters most for Everett's manufacturing and aerospace-supplier base — 0.484% for manufacturing, a materially lower rate than the Service & Other Activities tier most professional-services businesses pay. Getting your classification right (manufacturing versus a service activity performed for a manufacturer, for instance) is one of the more common places we find businesses over- or under-paying state B&O.

For manufacturers specifically, there is also a long-standing Manufacturing B&O tax credit worth checking, and Washington’s broader Small Business B&O Tax Credit can eliminate the state tax for the smallest filers regardless of classification. None of this is exotic, but it is the kind of detail that gets missed when a return is prepared by someone who has never had an aerospace-supplier client before.
