(A) Application; form. Any person making an application for a license for a newly established business shall furnish to the Finance Director, for his guidance in ascertaining the amount of license fees to be paid by the applicant, a signed written statement upon a form provided by the Finance Director, setting forth such information as may be therein required and as may be necessary to determine the amount of the license fees to be paid by the applicant.
(B) Determination of fees. If the amount of the license fees to be paid by the applicant is measured by gross receipts, the applicant shall estimate the gross receipts for the period to be covered by the license to be issued. If the amount of the license is to be measured by the average number of employees, the applicant shall estimate the average number of persons employed for the period to be covered by the license to be issued. Such estimates, if accepted by the Finance Director as reasonable, shall be used in determining the amount of the license fee to be paid by the applicant; provided, however, the amount of the license fees so determined shall be tentative only. Such person shall, within 30 days after the expiration of the period for which such license was issued, furnish the Finance Director information showing the gross receipts or average number of persons employed during the period of such license. The license fees for such period shall be finally ascertained and paid in the manner set forth in § 110.37 for ascertaining and paying renewal license fees for other businesses after deducting from the payment found to be due the amount paid at the time such first license was issued.
(C) Issuance. The Finance Director shall not issue to any such person a license for the same or any other business until such person shall have furnished to him the written statement and paid the license fee as required.
