Who needs to pay the Business License Tax?

Essentially anyone who sells a product, produces a product, or provides a service is required to pay an annual tax which is initially collected with the application. To be clear, if you do not receive a payroll check for the type of product you sell or service you provide, you are probably subject to a business license tax.
