PRESENTATION
BUSINESS LICENSE REPORT --Bobby Martin, CPA
Mr. Martin of Martin, Colson, Hale & Henderson, was hired in 2009 to study the City's
business license system of converting from gross receipts to a net profit system. The data
_ Mr. Martin used to compile the projected rate was based on the last two license tax years
(2008 & 2009). Because the City only started receiving licensees' federal tax returns in 2008
a limited amount of information could be provided to Mr. Martin. After studying the
material, he believes "that a tax rate in the range of 2.75% to 3.25% of net income for each
entity within the City would be necessary to maintain the current level of revenue received
by the City from the business license tax. This rate would be applicable to all entities with
net income of more than $5,000 during the reporting period. A minimum fee of $100 would
be charged to all entities with net income of $5,000 or less and those reflecting a net loss for
the reporting period. If the change is implemented 61% will pay higher license tax and 39%
will pay lower license tax." For more information a copy is in the minute file.
Mr. John Williams, of Computer Services, Inc., explained how the conversion would apply to
his company and the adverse consequences.

Commissioner Abraham offered motion, seconded by Commissioner Gault, that the reading
