A charitable organization shall be deemed a business subject to a license tax unless the entire net proceeds of its operation, after necessary expenses, are devoted to charitable purposes. Compensation in any form to a sponsor, organizer, officer, director, trustee or person with ultimate control of the organization shall not be deemed a necessary expense of operation. C. “Classification” means that division of businesses by major groups subject to the same license rate as determined by a calculated index of ability to pay based on national averages, benefits, equalization of tax burden, relationships of services, or other basis deemed appropriate by City Council. D. “City” means City of North Charleston. “County” means the County of Charleston. “License Official” means a person designated to administer this ordinance. 3 E. “Gross Income” means the total revenue of a business, received or accrued, for one calendar or fiscal year collected or to be collected by the business excepting income from business done wholly outside of the City on which a license tax is paid to some other municipality or a county and fully reported to the City or County. The term “gross receipts” means the value proceeding or accruing from the sale of tangible personal property, including merchandise and commodities of any kind and character and all receipts, by the reason of any business engaged in, including interest, dividends, discounts, rentals of real estate or royalties, without any deduction on account of the cost of the property sold, the cost of the materials used, labor or service cost, interest paid, or any other expenses whatsoever and without any deductions on account of losses. Gross income for brokers or agents means gross commissions received or retained, unless otherwise specified. Gross income for insurance companies means gross premiums collected. Gross income for business license tax purposes shall not include taxes collected for a governmental entity, escrow funds, or funds which are the property of a third party. The value of bartered goods or trade-in merchandise shall be included in gross income.

F. “Person” means any individual, firm, partnership, LLP, LLC, coopera tive non-profit membership, corporation, joint venture, association, estate, trust, business trust, receiver, syndicate, holding company, or other group or combination acting as a unit, in the singular or plural, and the agent or employee having charge or control of a business in the absence of the principals.

Each license shall be issued for one calendar beginning on January 1 and expiring on December 31; this time period shall be considered a license year. The provisions of this ordinance and the rates herein shall remain in effect from year to year as amended by North Charleston City Council. SECTION 4. - License Fee A.

If gross income cannot be separated for classifications at one location, the license fee shall be computed on the combined gross income for the classification requiring the highest rate. A license fee based on gross income shall be computed on the gross income for the preceding calendar or fiscal year, and on a twelve-month projected income based on the monthly average for a business in operation for less than one year. The fee for a new business shall be computed on the estimated probable gross income stated in the license application for the balance of the license year and updated prior to renewing for the following year. No refund shall be made for a business that is discontinued, annexed into a municipality or for an over payment of a prior year license fee. C. If gross income for the twelve months ending on the preceding December 31 cannot be determined before January 31 of the licensing year, estimated figures will be accepted, without penalties based on the following conditions: 1. Payment for the business license was received by January 31 and was 90% of the total amount that would be due and, 2.

SECTION 6. - Deductions, Exemptions, and Charitable Organizations A. No deductions from gross income shall be made except income from business done wholly outside of the City jurisdiction on which a license tax is paid to another municipality or county, taxes collected for a governmental entity, or income which cannot be taxed pursuant to State or Federal law. The applicant shall have the burden to establish the right to deduction by satisfactory records and proof. B. No person shall be exempt from the requirements of the ordinance by reason of the lack of an established place of business within the City, unless exempted by State or Federal law. The License Official shall determine the appropriate classification for each business in accordance with the latest issue of the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) for the United States published by the Office of Management and Budget. No person shall be exempt from this ordinance by reason of the payment of any other tax, unless exempted by State law, and no person shall be relieved of the liability for the payment of any other tax by reason of the application of this ordinance. The provisions of this article shall not extend to paper and allied products (NAICS 322) or chemical and allied products (NAICS 325), but shall extend and apply to vendors of every other class and kind of goods. 7 C.

Payment of necessary costs of operation and wages to non-management employees will not disqualify a charitable organization from exemption. SECTION 7. - False Application Unlawful It shall be unlawful for any person subject to the provisions of this ordinance to make a false application for a business license, or to give or file, or direct the giving or filing of any false information with respect to the license or fee required by this ordinance.

A change of address must be reported to the License Official within ten (10) days after removal of the business to a new location and the license will be valid at the new address upon written notification of the License Official and compliance with zoning and building codes. Failure to obtain the approval of the License Official for a change of address shall invalidate the license and subject the licensee to prosecution for doing business without a license. A business license shall not be transferable and a transfer of controlling interest shall be considered a termination of the old business and the establishment of a new business requiring a new business license, based on old business income. 8 SECTION 9. - Administration of Ordinance The License Official shall administer the provisions of this ordinance, collect license fees, issue licenses, make or initiate investigations and audits to insure compliance, initiate denial or revocation procedures, report violations to the Police Department and assist in prosecution of violators, produce forms, make reasonable regulations relating to the administration of this ordinance, and perform such other duties as may be duly assigned. The Police Department, in addition to the License Official, is hereby empowered to make or initiate investigations to ensure compliance with the provisions of this Ordinance and to initiate prosecution of violations. The Police Department, in addition to the License Official, shall have the authority to order that a business immediately cease making sales in the event no current valid North Charleston Business License has been issued. SECTION 10. - Inspection and Audits A. For the purpose of enforcing the provisions of this ordinance the License Official or other authorized agent of the City is empowered to enter upon the premises of any person subject to this ordinance to make inspections, examine and audit books and records, and it shall be unlawful for any such person to fail or refuse to make available the necessary books and records. In the event an audit or inspection reveals that false information has been filed by the licensee, the costs of the audit shall be added to the correct license fee and late penalties in addition to other penalties provided herein. Each day of failure to pay the proper amount of license fee shall constitute a separate offense. B. The License Official shall make systematic inspections and random audits of all businesses within the City to insure compliance with the ordinance. Records of inspection and audits shall not be deemed public records, and the License Official shall not release the amount of license taxes paid or the reported gross income of any person by name without written permission of the licensee, provided that statistics compiled by classifications may be made public. C. The License Official, upon approval of the Mayor, may disclose gross income of licenses to the Internal Revenue Service, S.C. Department of Revenue, Charleston County Tax Assessor, Charleston County Business License/User Fee Appeals Board and other County and Municipal Business license offices for the purpose of assisting tax assessments, tax collections and enforcement. Such disclosures shall be for internal, confidential and official use of these governmental agencies and shall not be deemed public records. 9 SECTION 11. - Assessments, Payment Under Protest, Appeal A. When a person fails to obtain a business license or to furnish the information required by this ordinance or the License Official, the License Official shall proceed to examine such records of the business or any other available records as may be appropriate and to conduct such investigations and statistical surveys as the License Official may deem appropriate to assess a license tax and penalties as provided herein. B. A notice of assessment shall be served by certified mail. An application for adjustment of the assessment may be made to the License Official within five (5) days after the notice is mailed or the assessment will become final. The License Official shall establish by regulation the procedure for hearing an application for adjustment of assessment and issuing a notice of final assessment. C. A final assessment may be appealed to the Business License/User Fee Appeals Board. See Section 16 - Appeals, which explains the procedures for appealing a final assessment.

Penalties shall not exceed 100% of the original license fee and shall not be waived. If any license fee shall remain unpaid for sixty (60) days after its due date, the License Official shall issue an execution which shall constitute a lien upon the property of the licensee for the tax, penalties and costs of collection, and shall proceed to collect in the same manner as prescribed by law for the collection of other taxes. B. Partial payment may be accepted by the License Official to toll imposition of penalties on the portion paid; provided, however, no business license shall be issued or renewed until the full amount of the tax due, with penalties, has been paid. 10 SECTION 13. - Notices The License Official may, but shall not be required to, mail written notices that license fees are due, but if notices are not mailed there shall be published a notice of the due date in a newspaper of general circulation within the City three (3) times prior to the due date in each year. Failure to receive notice shall not constitute a defense to prosecution for failure to pay the tax due or grounds for waiver of penalties. SECTION 14. - Denial of License The License Official shall deny a license to an applicant when the application is incomplete, contains a misrepresentation, false or misleading statement, evasion or suppression of a material fact, or when the activity for which a license is sought is unlawful or constitutes a public nuisance per se. A decision of the License Official shall be subject to appeal to the Business License/User Fee Appeals Board as herein provided. Denial shall be written with reasons stated. SECTION 15. - Suspension or Revocation of License When the License Official determines that: A. A license has been mistakenly or improperly issued or issued contrary to law; or B. A licensee has breached any condition upon which the license was issued or has failed to comply with the provision of this ordinance; or C. A licensee has obtained a license through a fraud, misrepresentation, a false or misleading statement, evasion or suppression of a material fact in the license application; or D. A licensee has been convicted of an offense under a law or ordinance regulating business, a crime involving moral turpitude, or an unlawful sale of merchandise or prohibited goods; or E. A licensee has engaged in an unlawful activity or nuisance related to the business. The License Official shall give written notice to the licensee or the person in control of the business within the City by personal service or certified mail that the license is suspended pending a hearing before Business License/User Fee Appeals Board for the purpose of determining whether the license should be revoked. The notice shall state the time and place at which the hearing is to be held, which shall be within thirty (30) days from the date of service of the notice. The notice shall contain a brief statement of the reasons for suspension and proposed revocation and a copy of the applicable provisions of this ordinance. 11 SECTION 16. - Appeals to Council A. Any person aggrieved by a final assessment, charge backs from an audit or a denial of a business license by the License Official may appeal the decision to the Business License/ User Fee Appeals Board by written request stating the reasons therefore. The appeal must be filed with the License Official within ten (10) days after the payment of the assessment under protest or notice of denial is received. A written notice of appeal must be accompanied with a $25 fee that will be used to partially defray the costs incurred in connection with the administration of appeals. Payment under protest shall be a condition precedent to appeal. The fee will be refunded in the event of final resolution of the appeal in favor of the appellant. B. An appeal or a hearing on revocation shall be held by the Appeals Board after receipt of a request for appeal or service of notice of suspension at a meeting of which the applicant or licensee has the right to be represented by counsel, to present testimony and evidence, and to cross-examine witnesses. The proceedings shall be recorded and transcribed at the expense of the party so requesting. The rules of evidence and procedure prescribed by the Board shall govern the hearing. The Board shall, by majority vote of members present, render a written decision based upon findings of fact and the application of the standards herein which shall be served upon all parties or their representatives. The decision of the Board shall be final unless appealed to City Council with ten (10) days after service of the Board’s decision. City Council shall review the record and without further hearing affirm, modify, or deny the appeal. The decision of Council shall be final unless appealed to a court of competent jurisdiction within ten (10) days after service of City Council’s decision. C.

SECTION 17. - Permission To Use Streets Required It shall be unlawful for any person to construct, install, maintain or operate in, on, above or under any street or public place under control of the City any line, pipe, cable, pole, structure or facility for utilities, communications, cablevision or other purposes without a consent agreement or franchise agreement issued by City Council by ordinance which prescribes the term, fees and conditions for use. 12 SECTION 18. - Consent, Franchise or Business License Fee Required The annual fee for use of streets or public places authorized by a consent agreement or franchise agreement shall be set by the ordinance approving the agreement and shall be consistent with limits set by State law. Existing franchise agreements shall continue in effect until expiration dates in the agreements.

Each day of violation shall be considered a separate offense. Punishment for violation shall not relieve the offender of liability for delinquent taxes, penalties and costs provided for herein. SECTION 21. - Separability A determination that any portion of this ordinance is invalid or unenforceable shall not affect the remaining portions. 13 SECTION 22. - Classification and Rates A. The sectors of businesses included in each Rate Class are listed with the United States North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes. The alphabetical index in this ordinance is a tool for classification, not a limitation on businesses subject to a license tax. The License Official shall determine the proper class for a business according to the applicable NAICS manual, whether or not the business is listed in the alphabetical index. A business class which is not listed in the rate class or numerical indexes is not subject to a license tax. Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes included in the index are for administrative use in converting to NAICS codes. B. The license fee for each Class of businesses subject to this ordinance shall be computed in accordance with the following rates. RATES RATE CLASS INCOME: 0 - $2000 ALL OVER $2000 Rate per Thousand or fraction thereof 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 MINIMUM FEE $30.00 $35.00 $40.00 $45.00 $50.00 $55.00 $60.00 See class 8 rates $1.30 $1.60 $1.90 $2.20 $2.50 $2.80 $3.10 NON-RESIDENT RATES Unless otherwise specifically provided, all minimum fees and rates shall be doubled for non-residents and itinerants having no fixed principal place of business within the city.
