π Transaction Privilege Tax (TPT) Location Codes
For every Transaction Privilege Tax (TPT) license, the Arizona Department of Revenue assigns a unique 3-digit location code to identify where business transactions occur.
This code must be used when filing TPT returns for each business location.
π·οΈ What Is a Location Code?
The location code appears on your TPT License Certificate.
Youβll find it here:
