Key Items You Need To Know About Tax Receipts

You must comply with the regulations of your local city or county if you own a business. One way you can do this is by applying for a business tax receipt. Also referred to as an occupational license or tax receipt, this type of annual tax is typically paid to the jurisdiction where your business is located.

This depends on the location of your business. In order to ensure that your company is properly covered, make sure that you contact the local tax departments of your local county or city. If you are located in an unincorporated area, you do not have to check with the local government.

This type of tax receipt was previously referred to as an occupational license. However, it does not allow you to perform certain tasks that require a separate license, such as construction or accounting.

If you are already familiar with this requirement and currently hold a local business tax receipt, please be aware that most counties and/or cities have an expiration date. Your local business tax receipt will need to be renewed prior to this date to ensure you are in compliance for the upcoming tax year. Check with your local tax department if you are unsure of your renewal date.
