This new system <br /> aggregates the management of all the City's business and regulatory licensing, and B&O, utility, admissions, <br /> and gambling taxes. The new system incorporates a new tax form and ancillary schedules that are multi- <br /> purpose and provide taxpayers with a single form to use for all tax payments. <br /> Under the existing ordinance, gambling taxes are paid quarterly, and are due on the 15th day of the month <br /> following the end of each quarter. This Ordinance aligns the due date for gambling taxes with B&O tax, <br /> which is on the last day of the month following the end of the quarter. This revision will make tax filing <br /> more efficient for taxpayers and simplify programming in the new system. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(Exact action requested of Council): Adopt the Ordinance Relating to Gambling <br /> 'ax, amending Ordinance No. 1023-84 (Chapter 3.36.070 EMC), as amended <br /> 23 <br />
