The Okaloosa County Tax Collector’s Office is collecting delinquent business tax receipts in January.
The receipts are required for businesses that provide merchandise, entertainment or services to the public, even if it's a one-person company or home-based business, according to Tax Collector Ben Anderson.
“To prevent the illusion of a scam, agents will only call during business hours, Monday through Friday, and identify themselves as Tax Collector employees. If business owners have questions, they can contact our office at 651-7300,” Anderson said.
BTRs are renewed annually and should be paid by Sept. 30 to avoid penalties. See www.OkaloosaTax.com for more information.
