What is Business Closing Form – Henry County, GA?
The Business Closing Form, printed on the document as the Occupational Tax Closed Form, is the Henry County Tax Commissioner's form for telling the Business & Occupational Tax Division that a business has closed, moved or been sold. Its opening line says that if you no longer operate a business or moved outside Unincorporated Henry County, you must close the business with the office to avoid additional fees.
The form is short. It asks for the current date, the account number, the company name and the business address. You then check one box: Business has moved, Business has closed or Business Sold. You enter the date the business closed or moved and, if it moved, the new address. A printed name and a signature complete the form.
The form asks you to include a copy of the owner's driver license. The Tax Commissioner's office is at 140 Henry Parkway, McDonough, GA 30253; the form header lists 770.288.8180 OPT 5 and www.henrycountytax.com.
This form ends an occupational tax account. It is not an application for a new business license: the agency's Occupational Tax Forms page lists the application documents separately.
Who needs to file Business Closing Form – Henry County, GA?
Business owners with an occupational tax account in Unincorporated Henry County use this form when they no longer operate the business. It also applies when the business has moved outside Unincorporated Henry County, and the form has a separate box for a business that has been sold.
The form states the consequence of not acting: you must close the business with the office to avoid additional fees.
The form's rule is triggered by ceasing to operate or by moving outside Unincorporated Henry County. A business that keeps operating inside Unincorporated Henry County does not fall under that rule.
