(c) The requirement to pay business tax is in addition to and separate from the requirement to obtain a business registration certificate under Section 4.60.030.
(d) The payment of business tax does not authorize the doing of any act which the person or business paying the business tax is not otherwise entitled to do and does not excuse the business from complying with other applicable code requirements.
