I have a Mary Kay business in CA. It is a hobby business. I have 5 customers. It has always operated at a loss.
I have recently received a letter from the City stating that I need to be registered with the City Business Tax Program. I didn't know I needed to do this. The City claims I owe $369.84 in taxes, late fees, zoning fees, surcharges and processing fees. This seems unfairly high especially since I've never actually made a profit to pay this tax with.
Is a small hobby size Mary Kay business actually a taxable business?
How can I fight this bill?
Are all of the extra fees legal?
Thanks for your help.
