(a) Each applicant for a permit required by § 57-5-103 shall be required to pay an application fee of two hundred fifty dollars ($250) to the county or city in which the applicant's place of business is located. No portion of the fee shall be refunded to the applicant, notwithstanding whether an application is approved or denied.
(b)
(1) There is hereby imposed on the business of selling, distributing, storing or manufacturing beer in this state a privilege tax of one hundred dollars ($100), notwithstanding § 57-6-112.
(2) Any person, firm, corporation, joint-stock company, syndicate or association engaged in selling, distributing, storing or manufacturing beer shall remit the tax on January 1 to the county or city in which such business is located. The tax shall be remitted to the county clerk for businesses located in the county outside the incorporated limits of any city or town, and to the official identified by the city or town in the notice required by subdivision (b)(3) for businesses located within the incorporated limits of the city or town.
(3) Counties and cities shall mail written notice to each permit holder of the payment date of the annual tax at least thirty (30) days prior to January 1. Notice shall be mailed to the address specified by the permit holder on its permit application. If a permit holder does not pay the tax by January 31 or within thirty (30) days after written notice of the tax was mailed, whichever is later, then the county or city shall notify the permit holder by certified mail that the tax payment is past due. If a permit holder does not pay the tax within ten (10) days after receiving notice of its delinquency by certified mail, then the county or city may suspend or revoke the permit or impose a civil penalty pursuant to § 57-5-108.
(4) Counties, cities or towns may utilize these tax funds for any public purpose.
(5) At the time a new permit is issued to any business subject to this tax, the permit holder shall be required to pay the privilege tax on a prorated basis for each month or portion thereof remaining until the next tax payment date.
