§ 46-60. Schedule of local business taxes.  


Latest version.
  • The amount of local business tax to be paid by each classification of business or occupation shall be as set forth in the Schedule of Local Business Taxes which shall be maintained by the city clerk and available for review during normal business hours at the office of the city clerk. These taxes shall be computed and charged annually unless otherwise specified. Regulatory requirements applicable to specific business activities are as listed in the schedule as well as the amount of the tax.

    Schedule of Local Business Tax:

    Additional to the basic local business tax.

    This schedule sets forth the annual business tax charge. In addition to the basic local business tax for any business, charges will be added as they apply according to the following: Employees, warehouse space and inventory.

    Inventory, as used in and for purposes of this section, shall not include the value of personal or business property of the business, such as fixtures, furniture, machinery, and equipment regularly used in the operation of business and which are not offered for sale as part of the normal business activity of the business being licensed under this section.

    *The local business tax section will require documentation (audits, copies of report to federal, state and local government, affidavits or any other documents needed to verify the amount of inventory reported). Inventory changes must be reported every year at renewal time by the business. Failure to do so will be a violation of this Code. There will be no local business tax for vehicles needed for delivery of goods provided they are used exclusively for products sold by the business. A retail local business tax will be required if retail sales are part of the operation of the business (i.e., outlet store).
