The Los Angeles City Council has approved Business Tax Incentive areas to provide business tax incentives for businesses located in certain areas of the City. Because the boundaries are specifically defined in the applicable Ordinances, please obtain a copy of the Ordinances and/or contact us to determine whether or not your business is located within a tax incentive area, especially if your business is located in Hollywood or North Hollywood.
