Director.
2. To timely file quarterly Business & Occupation tax returns to correctly report all gross income derived for
each quarter, to correctly calculate the amount of tax due before credit, and pay the balance of any taxes
due. If I fail to abide by these provisions, the Finance Director will have authority under the ordinance to
disallow the credit for the time period in which the return is delinquent.
