Occupational Tax Administrator

The duty of the Union County Tax Administrator is to collect local county tax and enforce the County Occupational and Net Profit License Fee Ordinance
as directed by the Fiscal Court.

Occupational taxes are withheld from gross wages earned in Union County, and submitted on a quarterly basis.  The current tax rate is .5%.

Net Profit taxes are collected from the net profits of all business ventures in Union County.  Public and private businesses, lessors of rental property, farms and
farming operations, and independent contractors are all examples of taxable entities.  The Net Profit taxes are collected annually and are based on Federal
returns.  The current tax rate is .5%.

All persons doing business in Union County are required by ordinance to complete and submit a questionnaire to the Tax Administrator.  To avoid interest and penalty, returns must be submitted by the due date.
