All businesses are required to submit a Business License Reconciliation form within 105 days of each year ending April 15th. In order to receive a filing extension for the Business License Reconciliation, you must submit a copy of the Federal Request for Extension, along with your estimated fee payment (which is the amount due after deducting your minimum $100 or $50 license fee payment).

PLEASE NOTE - JUST A FRIENDLY REMINDER - Business License expires on December 31st of each year, and is payable on or before January 31st. After which time a penalty will be charged. When making payment, please note any corrections or change of address. The City of Franklin requires that your Business License be posted in a public area within the premises of the business.

All businesses are required to submit an Occupational License Fee of 1% of gross wages paid employees for services within the City of Franklin each year. This is for working within the City limits, and must be paid regardless of place of residence. Withholdings should be for all taxable federal wages with a few exemptions as outlined in Ordinance 220.10-6-92 and subsequent amendments. The following money receipts are not deemed to be "salaries, wages, commission, and other compensations" within our ordinance, and are not subject to the 1% Occupational License Fee: old age or retirement payments; disability, sickness, accident benefits, and unemployment compensation; death benefits arising under the Workers' Compensation Act; and wages, bonuses, salaries, or incentive payments to the extent that said payments exceed the Federal Social Security withholding limit. Payments for should be submitted along with the Quarterly Return of Occupational License Fee form by the last day of the month, following the end of each quarter. If you need additional forms, please call and they can be mailed to you.

As usual, by January 31st, each organization must file with the City the name and address of each employee and the amount of salaries, wages, commissions, or other compensations earned during each year (computer printouts or copies of W2's and 1099's are acceptable).
