Sections 770.202 (county business tax) and 772.202 (municipal business tax) still allow the veterans' exemption only to a resident elector who served in a wartime period, was honorably discharged and is "disabled from performing manual labor", and only up to $50, with any tax above $50 "paid in cash" and the receipt marked "Veterans Exempt License". Sections 770.201 and 772.201 add that no veteran may be exempt from a liquor licence charge. The statute. Chapters 2018-80 and 2018-118 repealed section 205.171, on which those sections are modelled, and created section 205.055, which exempts from the business tax and its fees an honorably discharged veteran, the spouse or unremarried surviving spouse, the spouse of an active duty member moved by PCS orders, and a business with fewer than 100 employees one of them majority owns. The statute governs. Bring the DD-214 and ask the Tax Collector for its Request for Fee Exemption.
