In OAG 82-33, the Attorney General previously held that a city may not graduate its license tax based on gross receipts, citing a U.S. Supreme Court decision. The current decision references OAG 82-33 to support its conclusion that similarly, a business license tax measured by net profits, which would also be a graduated tax, is not permissible under the Kentucky Constitution. This citation is used to draw a parallel and reinforce the argument against graduated business license taxes, whether based on gross receipts or net profits.
