FAQ Tag: business tax certificate
Why did I receive a business tax certificate?
“Business tax certificate” is simply a more accurate term for what is commonly referred to as a “business license.” Our Finance Department collects business tax but does not regulate businesses; therefore, we are trying to minimize the use of the term “business license,” which suggests the granting of permission.
Why isn’t there an expiration date on my business tax certificate?
In order to save paper, postage, and staff time, we are no longer printing new certificates every time a license is renewed, unless there is a significant change such as a new business name or address. Our online registry displays expiration dates.
