. I'm going to call the office tomorrow and try to talk my way out of the late fees (on account of their lack of clarity in regards to crowd-sourced work, or something like that...) so then it'd just be the $105.
wow, I'm surprised that was the current year fee plus penalties. I thought that figure was 3 years of licenses plus penalties.
GL with calling the city. When I deal with goverment, I usually find that they say ignorance is no excuse but they are willing to work with you to get into compliance rather than just slam you with a citation for being in violation of conducting business without a business license.
New Mexico has gross receipts taxes (like a sales tax but taxes on not only goods but services). I had a services contract with an out-of-state employer so I didn't think the GRT applied to me becuase it was not conducted locally. My government got into contact with me to find out why I wasn't paying my GRT and that's when I learned that I should have been paying it as my situation was not one of the GRT exclusions. They didn't charge me with failure to pay GRT as they said they'd rather get me into compliance and caught up with current and past years' GRT and we worked out an arrangement and got caught up with a minimal amount of penalties added since I was working with them and not fighting them.
