This week, the California State Board of Equalization (BOE) announced emergency tax relief assistance to business owners who have been impacted by California’s Wildfires. Business owners may request filing extensions, penalty and interest relief from some taxes and fees, and can replace copies of lost or damaged records. 

On August 2, 2014, Governor Brown declared a state of emergency as a result of several devastating fires burning in Amador, Butte, El Dorado, Humboldt, Lassen, Madera, Mariposa, Mendocino, Modoc, Shasta, and Siskiyou counties.
