Transaction Privilege Tax License
📍 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.
🏷️ What Is a Location Code?
The location code appears on your TPT License Certificate.
You’ll find it here:
-
✔️ Left side of the certificate
-
✔️ Located below the business address
-
✔️ Shown as a 3-digit number
This code ensures that tax revenue from your business is properly routed to the correct city, town, or special district.
