Q: Do I need to pay DC taxes for VA-based boat rental using Potomac River?
I operate a boat rental business registered as an LLC in Virginia. We launch from Gravelly Point, Arlington, VA, utilizing the Potomac River under DC jurisdiction, and sometimes use the Occoquan River. The business is personally operated by me, without employees, primarily during weekends. Although I have registered as a foreign entity in DC for precautionary reasons, we do not have any physical presence or agreements in DC, and customers are attracted online only. In light of these circumstances, am I required to file as a foreign entity in DC and pay DC taxes in addition to Virginia taxes?
