St. George, UT · Washington County
An accounting firm for St. George business owners.
1Tax is based at 107 S 1470 E, Suite 203, in St. George. We work with Southern Utah owners who want a year-round advisor for taxes, books, payroll, and big decisions, not a preparer they see once each spring.
What running a business in St. George looks like
St. George is the largest city in Washington County, and its economy is broader than many people expect. Major employers include the Washington County School District, SkyWest, and Utah Tech University, while the Tech Ridge development is adding an in-town hub for technology and office work on the old airport site.
That mix creates a wide range of owners: contractors keeping up with growth, medical and professional practices, home service companies, property investors, and founders who chose to build here. Their tax questions differ, but the core problem is the same. The business has grown faster than the systems behind it, and decisions get made on numbers that are months old.
We fix that first. When your books close by the 10th of each month, you can see what you earned, what you owe, and what you can afford before you commit to the next hire, truck, or lease.
Local details we help St. George owners stay on top of
Your city business license comes from St. George Business Licensing. If you operate a short-term rental, each unit needs its own license, a local manager available around the clock, and a location inside the city's approved areas. As of October 2026, the combined sales tax rate in St. George is 6.75%, and lodging is 13.32%.
Utah's individual and corporate income tax rate is 4.45% for 2026. Federal tax is usually the larger bill, so we plan the two together, including whether Utah's pass-through entity election makes sense for your S corporation or partnership.
What we'd look at first in St. George
For a St. George owner, we usually start with three questions. Are the books current enough to trust? Is the entity still right for your level of profit? Have you set aside enough for this year's taxes? Those answers tend to reveal the biggest opportunities quickly.
If you have a building, a fleet, or a rental property, we'll review your depreciation. If you're paying yourself through an S corporation, we'll review your salary. If you're adding staff, we'll make sure payroll and registrations are set up before the first check. You get a clear list of priorities, in order, with the numbers behind them.
