WASHINGTON
On July 16, the Seattle Select Budget Committee will consider placing a ballot measure on the November 2025 election to restructure its Business & Occupation (B&O) tax. If approved, B&O tax rates would increase on most business activities while raising the exemption threshold from $100,000 to $2 million and introducing a new $2 million standard deduction. The business license tax would also be adjusted to align with the new structure. Funds would support food access, gender-based violence services, small business aid, emergency shelters, homelessness prevention, and worker protections, while also helping offset federal funding cuts.
