The failure of the city to notify the fiscal court of the annexation Page 1 of 7 SB027410.100 - 1546 - XXXX GA UNOFFICIAL COPY 21 RS SB 274/GA as set out in this subsection shall serve to void the ordinance annexing the territory contained in that county.
ACTS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY (4) If a city is wholly contained within two (2) counties and that city intends to annex Page 2 of 7 SB027410.100 - 1546 - XXXX GA UNOFFICIAL COPY 21 RS SB 274/GA territory in an additional county, then the provisions of Section 1 of this Act shall apply.
and (b) For an annual fixed amount license fee which an individual, partnership, professional association, joint venture, or corporation may elect to pay in lieu of reporting and paying the percentage rate as provided in this subsection on Page 3 of 7 SB027410.100 - 1546 - XXXX GA UNOFFICIAL COPY 21 RS SB 274/GA net profits of businesses, trades, professions, or occupations from activities conducted in the county.
(d) No license tax shall be imposed upon or collected from any insurance company except as provided in KRS 91A.080, bank, trust company, combined bank and trust company, combined trust, banking, and title business in this state, or any savings and loan association whether state or federally chartered, or in other cases where the county is prohibited by law from imposing a Page 4 of 7 SB027410.100 - 1546 - XXXX GA UNOFFICIAL COPY 21 RS SB 274/GA license fee.
(6) Persons who pay a county license fee pursuant to this section and who also pay a license fee to a city contained in the county may, upon agreement between the county and the city, credit their city license fee against their CHAPTER 145 3 county license fee.
After the tax year in which the annexation occurs, if the revenues generated by both the city and county license fees for that territory decrease below the amount of revenue generated in that preceding tax year by the county license fee, then the revenue received by the Page 5 of 7 SB027410.100 - 1546 - XXXX GA UNOFFICIAL COPY 21 RS SB 274/GA county shall be reduced proportionately.
(b) Notwithstanding any provision of the KRS to the contrary, no taxpayer shall be refunded or credited for any overpayment of a license tax paid to any county to the extent the overpayment is attributable to or derives from this section as it existed at any time subsequent to July 15, 1986, and the taxpayer seeks a credit for a license tax paid to a city located within such county, if such refund claim or amended tax return claim was filed or perfected after November 18, 2004, except by agreement between the city and county in Page 6 of 7 SB027410.100 - 1546 - XXXX GA UNOFFICIAL COPY 21 RS SB 274/GA accordance with subsection (6) of this section;
