HB 1463 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Modifies provisions relating to the taxation of certain businesses

HB 1463 prohibits municipalities from imposing business license fees on enterprises owned by people aged 18 or younger, directly protecting young entrepreneurs. It also grants cities with populations over 350,000 the authority to license, tax, and regulate most businesses using methods like gross sales revenue, flat fees, or profit-based rates. The bill clarifies that cities cannot tax youth-owned businesses regardless of local ordinances, while allowing cities to set tax rules for other businesses through local ordinances. This changes how local governments can structure business taxation, specifically removing a tax burden from young business owners.
