§ 35-156. New business; license required before commencing.

Latest version.

No person shall commence any business within the parish without first paying a tentative license tax. Within forty (40) days after commencing the business, each person shall compute in the manner provided by section 35-161 the balance of the license tax, if any, owed for the year in which the business is started and pay such tax balance. When the business is begun prior to July first of any year, the tentative tax shall be the minimum annual rate for the particular class of business in cases in which the tax is based on gross receipts, sales, fees, premiums or commissions, or the full annual rate in cases in which the tax is based on a specific amount per unit. When the business is begun on or after July first of any year, the tentative tax shall be one-half (½) of the minimum annual rate or the specific amount per unit, as the case may be.
