This tax shall be paid not later than the tenth day of the following month. On August 1 following the date when such person entered business, the person shall pay the annual tax for the year commencing on the next prior July 1, computed according to subdivision (a)(1), but the person shall not later make monthly payments.
- Whenever the ownership of a business subject to the gross receipts tax, the owner of which has paid the tax on an annual basis in accordance with this part on or before August 1 of any year, is transferred during the year after payment, the transferee shall not be liable for any further gross receipts taxes for the year in which the transfer is made. It is declared to be the legislative intent that only one (1) gross receipt tax be paid on account of the operation of a business during any one (1) year.
