A. In respect to the license to be issued under this chapter for a business, in all cases where the amount of license fee to be paid is measured by gross receipts, the applicant for such license shall furnish to the business license officer for purposes of ascertaining the amount of the license fee to be paid by the applicant, a sworn statement, upon a form provided by the business license officer, setting forth such information as may be therein required and as may be additionally requested by the business license officer to determine the amount of the license fee to be paid by the applicant.
B. If the amount of the license fee to be paid by the applicant for a new business is measured by gross receipts, the applicant shall estimate the gross receipts for the period to be covered by the license to be issued. Such estimate, if accepted by the business license officer as reasonable, shall be used in determining the amount of the license fee to be paid by the applicant; provided, that the amount of the license fee so determined shall be tentative only, and the licensee shall, within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the period for which such license was issued, furnish the business license officer with a sworn statement, upon a form furnished by the business license officer, showing the gross receipts during the period of such license. The license fee for such period shall thereupon be finally ascertained by the business license officer and paid in the manner provided by this chapter for the ascertaining and paying of annual license fees for other businesses, after deducting from the amount of the fee found to be due, the amount paid at the time the license was issued or renewed.
C. The business license officer shall not renew or issue to a licensee, any license for the same or any other business or location, until such licensee shall have furnished to the business license officer the sworn statement and paid all license fees as herein required.
