Business & Occupation Tax is measured by the application of rates against gross receipts or gross income of the business. All business activities are classified, and the classifications are significant inasmuch as the tax liability varies based on the different rates established for the specific types of business activities. Individuals or businesses who do not have a physical location or office located in the City of Charleston are also subject to Business & Occupation Tax if they: 1) lease tangible personal property to lessees in Charleston, or 2) perform construction or installation contractsin Charleston or 3) renderservicesin Charleston. Additionally, anyone who sells and/or delivers goods or products in Charleston may also be subject to Business & Occupation Tax.
