Anyone with experience applying for a business tax for a home run business?
I have a side hustle selling things online and found out I probably have to apply to have a business tax certificate with the city. I don't make a whole lot of money yet but I'd hate to have to pay penalties later because I didn't do this right.
Has anyone gone through the process of applying for this? The form looks easy enough to fill out, but does anyone know roughly how much I'll have to pay? Also, I emailed the Business License department and part of the instructions they sent me said they need to do a home-area inspection for zoning approval. I can't find any other information online regarding what this entails. What exactly are they looking for? I don't want to go through this just to have them say I can't keep selling my stuff online.
