"Amusement Device Owner's License" to do so, obtained in the
manner hereinafter set forth. The license fee for any amusement
device, for which payment is made for the use thereof, whether by
insertion of a coin or by payment made directly to the
proprietor, shall be a sum equal to four percent (4%) of the
gross revenue of all amusement devices owned by the licensee. A
minimum license fee of Eight and 75/100 Dollars ($8.75) per tax
period shall be assessed; however, said minimum shall not be
assessed unless the average revenue of an amusement device,
determined by dividing the total revenue by the total number of
amusement devices in one place of business, multiplied by the
taxing rate is less than Eight and 75/100 Dollars ($8.75). The
tax rate may be increased or decreased from time to time by City
Council resolution.
The City of Bremerton shall have the authority, pursuant to
this Ordinance, to adopt, by resolution, whatever measures it
deems necessary to determine valuation for license fee purposes,
including a subsequent requirement of the installation of a
counting device.
The license fee shall be payable in quarterly installments
on or before the 30th day of the month following the end of the
calendar quarter, to commence January 1, 1984. The remittance,
as herein provided, shall be accompanied by the amusement license
location schedule, if requested by the City Treasurer and
submitted to the City Treasurer on or before the last day of each
calendar quarter.
In the event that the license fee is not paid on or before
the due date, there shall be added to the amount due a penalty
fee as follows:
1-30 days, 10% of tax due, minimum penalty of $3.00
31-60 days, 15% of tax due, minimum penalty of $4.00
61 or more days, 20% of tax due, minimum penalty of $5.00.
In addition to this penalty, the City Treasurer may charge the
taxpayer interest of one percent (1%) of all taxes and fees due
for each thirty day period or portion thereof, that said amounts
are past due.
Failure to make payment in full of all tax amounts and
penalties within sixty (60) days following the day the tax amount
initially became due, shall be both a civil and criminal
violation of this Section.
