In no event shall the Jefferson County Entity Business License Tax payable by any person subject thereto exceed for any period for which the tax is levied 1/40th of one percent of the annual gross receipts derived from the business activity conducted in the county of such person for that period and subject to the tax herein authorized following any gross receipts deduction permitted pursuant to subdivision (1). Notwithstanding the deductions or credits permitted under subdivision (1), every person subject to the Jefferson County Entity Business License Tax shall pay at least a minimum tax of twenty-five dollars ($25) per annum initially, and no more tax than fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000) per annum initially. The maximum tax shall not restrict the ability of the governing body to collect penalties, interest, and fines which, when added to the tax due, exceed the maximum annual amount for any past due Jefferson County Entity Business License Tax. The governing body is authorized to provide by ordinance for an issuance fee, initially set at twenty-five dollars ($25), which may be reasonably increased or decreased by the governing body from time to time, and the levy and collection of the Jefferson County Entity Business License Tax from the persons subject thereto and for the imposition of penalties, interest, and fines on delinquent payments due and unpaid and for costs of collection thereof.

(3) Beginning in county fiscal year 2016, and every five years thereafter, the governing body may increase either or both the minimum or the maximum tax amount provided for under this section by an amount not to exceed five percent.

(4) Before the governing body may approve the ordinance referenced in subdivision (2), the governing body shall post the text of the proposed ordinance on the county’s public website for a period of not less than 15 days.

(5) When a person is engaged in more than one business for one or more of which a state tax is required to be paid pursuant to Section 40-16-4, 40-21-50, 40-21-52, 40-21-53, 40-21-56, or 40-21-60, as amended, but for one or more of which no state tax is required to be paid pursuant to Section 40-16-4, 40-21-50, 40-21-52, 40-21-53, 40-21-56, or 40-21-60, as amended, the governing body shall have the authority to levy hereunder in respect of such business the Jefferson County Entity Business License Tax measured by the gross receipts of such business or such businesses respecting which such person is not required to pay any state tax. In the absence of a subsequent act of the Legislature specifically repealing this sentence, the governing body may impose no new business license other than the Jefferson County Entity Business License Tax authorized by this section. In no event shall the same gross receipts for the same period be utilized as the measure of tax for two or more licenses under the Jefferson County Entity Business License Tax and any other business license or privilege tax then being levied by the county for the same period.

(d) The tax hereby authorized to be levied shall be paid to that officer or employee of the county chargeable with the duty of collecting license or privilege taxes payable to the county, and the proceeds thereof, net of any costs of collection, shall be deposited in the county’s general fund and may be used and appropriated therefrom by the governing body for the lawful purposes and objects of expenditure for which such fund has been established.

(e) This section may not be construed as allowing the governing body to levy a privilege tax or an occupational tax on the compensation received by an employee from any employer with a place of employment located within an incorporated or unincorporated area of the county.

(f) If any provision of this section shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, such invalidity shall not affect any other provisions of this section, which shall be given full force and effect as completely as if the invalid provision had not been included herein.

(g) In addition to such other legal authority as it may have with respect thereto, the governing body is authorized to adopt and promulgate such rules and regulations consistent herewith and with any ordinance providing for the levy and collection of the tax herein authorized as shall be necessary and appropriate in the circumstances to the efficient administration thereof.
