Accounting & Tax Services in Layton, UT
Layton sits directly adjacent to Hill Air Force Base in Davis County, making it a primary residential and commercial center for military families and defense industry workers across northern Utah. The Layton Hills Mall corridor and Main Street commercial district host a concentration of retail businesses, medical clinics, and professional service firms serving the base community and the broader Davis County population. Healthcare providers including Davis Hospital and Tanner Clinic operate throughout the city, while urgent care centers and dental practices line the Highway 89 corridor. Many Layton business owners serve both military and civilian customers, creating revenue patterns influenced by deployment cycles and base contract timelines. The city’s retail sector benefits from a steady consumer base of military families with predictable income streams, driving demand for franchise restaurants, auto services, and family-oriented businesses. SDO CPA works with Layton business owners across military-adjacent retail, healthcare, and professional services. We help practice owners manage provider compensation and accounts receivable, assist retailers with multi-location sales tax compliance, and structure S-Corps for business owners who also hold military-connected employment. Our virtual model means we’re available during TDY schedules and deployment timelines that disrupt traditional in-office CPA relationships.
Utah Tax Planning Tip
Utah’s flat 4.65% income tax applies to all pass-through business income, but the state offers a nonrefundable R&D tax credit worth up to 5% of qualified research expenditures. S-Corp owners in Salt Lake City’s tech corridor should document software development activities throughout the year to maximize both federal and Utah R&D credits. Many Utah tech companies leave significant credits unclaimed because they don’t track qualifying activities in real time.
