Business Licensing Essentials: Local Business License Renewal Center Walkthrough

Every month in 2022, the Municipal Association’s Local Revenue Services is hosting “Business Licensing Essentials,” a series of virtual training sessions. The sessions focus on the methods for administering business license taxes correctly, efficiently and in a way that makes life easier for those doing business inside a city or town. 

The November session, taking place on November 9 at 10 a.m., focuses on the Local Business License Renewal Center. Act 176, the SC Business License Tax Standardization Act, requires jurisdictions with a business license tax to accept license renewal payments from businesses through this online payment portal. Business owners can use the Renewal Center to renew their business licenses in every municipality and county where they operate, all using a single payment, which simplifies and streamlines their business license experience. 

This session will cover how cities and towns operate their account within the Renewal Center, so that it may collect business license tax payments on their behalf.
