INTERACTION WITH PRIOR TAX: Any person who pays the tax levied pursuant Article V, Sections 32.156, 32.157, and 32.159 of this Code with respect to the business license tax shall be deemed to have satisfied his or her obligation to pay the tax levied pursuant to Article V, Sections 32.152 and 32.153 of this Code with respect to that tax. Likewise, prior to July 1, 2010, any person who pays the tax levied pursuant to Article V, Sections 32.152 and 32.153 of this Code with respect to the business license tax shall be deemed to have satisfied his or her obligation to pay the tax levied pursuant to Article V, Sections 32.156 and 32.157 of this Code with respect to that charge. The intent of this paragraph is to prevent the imposition of multiple taxes upon a single payer during the transition period after the effective date of this Ordinance but prior to July 1, 2010, the date upon which the increases to the business license tax become effective.
