Any taxpayer failing to make payment on or prior to January 1st will be subject to penalties in the following amounts: 1. Ten percent of the current renewal fee, as adjusted in subsection (E)(4) of this section, if the payment is not received on or before the last day of the month following the expiration date. 2. Twenty percent of the current renewal fee, as adjusted in subsection (E)(4)of this section, if the payment is not received on or before the last day of the second month following the expiration date. 3. All business licenses issued subsequent to the initial license period will be deemed renewal licenses if there has been no discontinuance of the taxpayer's operations or activities.
