It depends a lot on corporate structure and actually HQ address for tax filling. Each city has their own business license rates and deductions. And some cities (like SF) have extra taxes per employee. Their website lists their HQ as SF, but it would be impossible to know from the outside what their exact tax situation would be.
I guess my point is though from a company perspective not much more than anywhere else. The biggest cost to a company here is competing on wages.
