5.12.010 105 (Pleasanton Supp. No. 30, 7-23) Chapter 5.12 LICENSE AND TAX PAYMENT Sections: 5.12.010 Required. 5.12.020 Branch establishments. 5.12.030 Evidence of doing business. 5.12.010 Required. A. There are imposed upon the businesses specified in this title license taxes in the amounts pre- scribed in this title. It is unlawful for any person to transact and carry on any business in the city without first having procured a license from said city so to do and paying the tax hereinafter prescribed or without complying with any and all applicable provisions of this title. B. This section shall not be construed to require any person to obtain a license prior to doing business within the city if such requirement conflicts with appli- cable statutes of the United States or of the state. (Ord. 1550 § 4, 1992; prior code § 1-5.18) 5.12.020 Branch establishments. A separate license must be obtained for each branch establishment or location of the business trans- acted and carried on and for each separate type of busi- ness at the same location, and each license shall author- ize the licensee to transact and carry on only the busi- ness licensed thereby at the location or in the manner designated in such license; provided, however, that if a separate business income tax return is filed for a particu- lar business, it shall, for purposes of this section, be conclusively presumed to be a separate business for which a separate license is required. (Prior code § 1- 5.19) 5.12.030 Evidence of doing business. When any person: (A) by the use of signs, circu- lars, cards, telephone books, internet or newspapers, advertise, hold out or represent that the person is con- ducting business in the city; (B) holds an active license or permits issued by a governmental agency indicating that the person is conducting business in the city; or (C) owns and/or maintains a fixed place of business in the city, or rents or leases real property within the city, for business purposes for the benefit or partial benefit of the person; and (D) makes a sale, takes an order, delivers goods as a private carrier to any destination within the city, renders a commercial service or performs any simi- lar act within the city, such facts shall be considered prima facie evidence that the person is conducting busi- ness in the city. This includes, but is not limited to, per- sons who use a Pleasanton address for licensing by fed- eral, state or other public agencies, even if business is done off site out of Pleasanton or business only leases temporary space in Pleasanton. (Ord. 2244 § 2, 2023; Ord. 2038 § 1, 2012; Ord. 1976 § 7, 2008; Ord. 1773 § 1, 1999; Ord. 1550 § 4, 1992; Ord. 1093 § 1, 1983; prior code § 1-5.20)
