Business License Tax Estimator Instructions
IMPORTANT: Please read these instructions carefully before accessing the
Business License Tax Estimator
.
To calculate Business License Tax:
Select a "Business Class" from the drop down box appropriate for your business.
Enter the amount of your gross receipts in the
Gross Receipts
input box for that Business Class. Enter total purchases if you select the
Wholesale
Business Class.
Repeat steps 1 and 2 until all gross receipts have been entered. After all gross receipts are entered, scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the
Total
button.
The page automatically calculates the estimated business license tax and displays it in the
Projected Tax
box for each Business Class selected.
The total of the gross receipts entered is displayed in the
Total Gross Receipts
box.
The sum of all the
Projected Tax
calculations is displayed in the
Total Projected Tax
box.
To reset a single gross receipt entry, highlight the number and hit the "delete" key before entering the correct amount. New totals will be displayed after clicking the
Total
button.
The blue section of the page is the
Flat Fee
section, where the user may be required to add flat fees to the
Total Projected Tax
owed. Click on the appropriate flat fee box or boxes and click the
Total
button.
Note:
If total gross receipts are less than $100,000 and the business is not "Coin Machine Operator", the
Total Projected Tax
is $50 regardless of the totals in the individual class boxes.
