Business License Tax Hurting Small Town

Aiken, SC – Aiken is no different than other cities in South Carolina in that they tax businesses a business license fee. The tax helps generate about $2 million a year, however, many business owners say that tax is too costly.

The business license tax is calculated based on how much a business makes, essentially punishing those that thrive. As a result, Aiken has seen an increase in the number of empty store fronts and many owners move outside of city limits. City officials say if the business tax is eliminated, other taxes would increase.
