In Tennessee, every employer must complete a Report to Determine Status, Application for Employer Number (LB-0441), and submit it via mail. Upon assessment, if deemed liable, the Department of Labor & Workforce Development will issue an eight-digit employer account number formatted as XXXX-XXX X. You should expect to receive this number within 2-3 weeks after completing the registration process.
Unemployment insurance rate
Newly established businesses in Tennessee generally encounter a tax rate of 2.7%. However, recent construction ventures operating within specific North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) sectors might face a higher rate. For instance, new construction companies categorized under NAICS 23 are assigned a tax rate of 6%. It's important to note that your tax rate may potentially change twice a year, with the standard adjustment occurring annually starting on July 1st.
