Flat tax by headcount
In Winder, a Barrow County city, the city's occupational tax goes by the maximum number of employees: $165 for 0 to 5, $250 for 6 to 10, $500 for 11 to 20, $750 for 21 to 30, $1,000 for 31 to 50 and $1,500 above that. Home occupations recognized by the zoning ordinance pay $75.
Licensed practitioners can choose the employee-based tax or $150 per practitioner, and those paying per practitioner don't have to report gross receipts. The city's registration process includes a criminal background check, a zoning check and a fire prevention check, and payments are accepted only after approval.
Applicants supply a federal ID number and a Georgia sales tax number, or copies of the filings if the numbers aren't issued yet, and a food service permit if serving food. Registrations aren't issued without those documents. Every business sign needs a permit, and renovations like wiring, plumbing or HVAC work need building permits.
Licenses come through Planning & Development Services. The page points applicants to the IRS for a federal ID and the Georgia Tax Center for a sales tax number, and notes that business registrations aren't issued until every required document is in.
