Occupational Tax and License Fees 2017

Post date: Mar 21, 2016 6:51:22 PM

Occupational Taxes (business licenses) are valid from January 1 - December 31 of each calendar year no matter when that business License was obtained.  We hope that you will make the most of your license and renew early.  If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to call or email.  

Attached you will find an application. Please review, make necessary changes to the application, and return (in person if needing notarization) along with your payment to Bishop Town Hall. All three pages of the application are needed each year for renewal.  Please check your documents and make sure to include your EIN/ TIN/ SSI number (whichever number you use for reporting taxes), your E-verify number (if you have more than 10 employees), and an Affidavit of Citizenship WITH  government issue photo ID; you will not be issued a business license without this information.

Georgia and Federal law requires that affidavits must be submitted with your business license application.  These documents need to be renewed each year.  These affidavits must be notarized; a notary is available at Town Hall at no charge.  

Payment is as follows: Flat rate of $20.00 Business license fee (aka Occupational tax)

For any questions concerning this matter, please contact Town Hall at (706)769-0076 or clerk@townofbishop.org
