Home Business Taxes Sought
From Venturecountystart.com:
Simi Valley will be sending more than 1,800 letters to home businesses that might not be registered with the city, asking them to pay current and up to three years in back taxes.
On Monday night, the City Council voted unanimously to start a compliance program. Letters will start to be mailed next weekend.
If a home business owner does not have what is called a “Business Tax Certificate,” they need to get one, city officials say.
The compliance program is not meant to punish at-home businesses, as many people don’t know the certificate is even needed, said Jim Purtee, director of administrative services.
“One of the council’s directions was to make the letter very friendly,” Purtee said.
State law allows cities to collect the current year business tax, up to three years of back taxes, and up to three years in penalties — equal to the tax.
