Business License Fees are based on the gross receipts of the Business. A new Business will need to estimate how much money they think the Business will bring in between the time you open and December 31 of the present year. The renewal for the next year will be based on income tax information provided to us by the business. The City of Simpsonville has the right to audit any questionable reporting of gross receipts at any time.
