Officially closing your business in Newnan?

If you close an active business in the City of Newnan, you must notify the Finance Department of the closing date. Closing the business or ownership out properly with the City will prevent future assessments of personal property taxes by both the City and the County. This will also stop the automatic mailing of the occupational tax certificate renewal packet.

For businesses which have been closed or sold, occupational taxes must be calculated and paid on the income earned year-to-date. As you will note, occupational tax renewals are based on prior year gross receipts, therefore, no taxes have been paid on the current year's gross receipts. Please submit the completed form and taxes due to the City within 30 days of the closing date of the business. The owner's signature is required on the form. The current certificate must be surrendered with the Closed Business Form. If submitting the closing form electronically via this form, the current certificate should be scanned and attached when prompted, then destroyed.

If the City was not notified of the business closing and the business/owner received a renewal for the upcoming year, there is a section labeled "Closed Businesses Only" on page 2 of the return. This section must be completed and the form returned to the City, along with the correct amount of occupational taxes for the prior year's gross receipts. Please see the paragraph above for an explanation of the occupational taxes owed when a business closes. The $20 admin fee does not have to be paid in this case. For additional information concerning the correct way to close out a business in the City of Newnan, please feel free to contact the City's Licensing Specialist at Licensing@cityofnewnan.org or by phone at 678-673-5478. We appreciate your assistance!
