Register through Granite Tax Connect. Apply for the Meals and Rentals operator’s license at least 30 days before opening and post it; every place of business needs its own. Retail shops, salons, gyms and daycares collect no state tax at the register at all, but still file the Business Profits and Business Enterprise Tax returns once they pass the thresholds.
