Thomasville prorates your first year's occupation tax by the months you're open, then adjusts each year to your actual gross. Tax is due April 15.

A prorated first year

Thomasville is a south Georgia city in Thomas County. The city says retail and service businesses pay occupation tax based on business classification and estimated annual gross receipts. Industrial and manufacturing businesses pay by employee count. Professionals pay $400 a year or can choose the gross receipts method.

The first year is prorated by the number of months you're open, and later years adjust as your actual gross goes up or down. Renewal notices are mailed in January, and the tax is due by April 15 each year after you open. After you return your occupation tax form, the city calculates the tax and mails a statement, with payment due within 30 days.

Before the first certificate, private employers file an E-Verify affidavit showing they're registered or exempt. It applies to employers with more than 10 employees working at least 35 hours a week. The Tax and Licensing Department is at 111 Victoria Place, 229-227-7001.

Don't count alcoholic beverage sales in your estimated gross receipts; the city handles those separately. You can return the occupation tax form by mail or bring it to the Administration Building in person, and the city calculates what you owe from there.
