§348. Period used where gross receipts are the measure of the license
A. The basis for determining the amount of the annual licenses provided by this Chapter, where the license is measured by gross receipts shall be as follows:
(1) If the business has been conducted previously by the same party, the annual gross receipts, gross fees, or gross commissions earned, whether received or accrued, during the preceding calendar year for which the license is issued shall be the basis for determining the amount of the annual license.
(2) If the business is begun during the calendar year for which the license is issued, the license for the year of commencement shall be based on the gross receipts, gross sales, gross premiums, gross fees, or gross commissions earned, regardless of whether received or accrued, during the first thirty days of business, multiplied by the number of months, or major fraction thereof remaining in the calendar year; however, any business which opens after June thirtieth of the year in question whose estimated gross receipts for the remainder of the year are less than one-half of the maximum gross revenue allowed in the minimum rate under the classification of the particular business, shall pay for the remainder of the year at one-half the minimum rate.
(3) If the business is begun less than thirty days before the end of the calendar year for which the license is to be issued, the tax shall be based on the gross receipts, gross sales, gross premiums, gross fees, or gross commissions earned, regardless of whether received or accrued, during the calendar year; however, one-half of the annual rate shall apply to such businesses whose gross receipts for the period operated during the calendar year is less than one-half of the maximum gross revenue allowed in the minimum rate under the classification of the particular business.
(4) The license tax of the business for the calendar year following that of commencement shall be based on the gross receipts, gross sales, gross premiums, gross fees, or gross commissions earned, regardless of whether received or accrued, during the previous year, divided by the number of days in operation during the year of commencement, and multiplied by three hundred sixty-five.
B. The date of beginning business for the purposes of this Chapter shall depend upon the type of business involved, and shall be governed by regulations promulgated by the collector of revenue according to law.
