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.
