Mecklenburg County Institutes New Online System for Paying Business License Taxes

The Mecklenburg Tax Collector sent reminders to all businesses operating in Mecklenburg County to let them know that they must renew their business licenses by June 30, 2011. Failure to renew a business license on time will incur a late fee.

According to WBTV, “there are more than 50,000 businesses in Mecklenburg County and most are required to have a local ‘privilege license,’ also known as a business license.”

All businesses filing for a business license must also pay business taxes based on their gross income. The tax rate in Mecklenburg County is $0.60 per $1,000 with a minimum tax of $50 and a maximum tax of $10,000.

To facilitate the payment of business taxes when filing for a new license, the county instituted a new online payment system.
