(1)In the case of any business which is subject to license under this Chapter, commencing on or after the effective date of this Chapter, the license tax shall be due and payable on such date of commencement.

(2)In the case of a business commenced prior to the effective date of this Chapter, the license tax shall be due and payable on January 1, 1988.

B.(1) Annually thereafter all license taxes levied hereunder shall be due and payable on January first of each calendar year for which the license is due, except that for a new business commencing after January first of any calendar year, the first license shall be due and payable on the date the business is commenced.

(2)All licenses unpaid after the last day of February of the calendar year for which they are due or, in the case of a new business, unpaid on the date such business is commenced shall be deemed delinquent and subject to the payment of delinquent interest and penalty.
