Business Privilege and/or Mercantile Tax has been levied by the Municipality and/or School District in which a business is located and is based on the gross receipts of such a business.
Communities that have been classified as financially distressed have the option to eliminate the Business Privilege Tax and enact the Payroll Preparation Tax. This is a tax levied on an employer’s total payroll amounts, a self-employed individual’s earnings, and/or rental income (reported on a Schedule C) generated as a result of conducting business activity within the municipality.
