Scottsdale adopts comprehensive business privilege tax ordinance 1961
Scottsdale officials approve an ordinance taxing privilege licenses for various businesses. The measure defines terms, sets license requirements, outlines tax rates on gross proceeds, gross income and receipts, and prescribes monthly payments, deductions, exemptions, audits, and penalties with an emergency clause effective upon passage. It covers contractors, retailers, theaters, hotels, and transportation related taxes while preserving existing laws and authorizing enforcement actions by the Town Clerk and sheriff.
