                                   Page 1 




- 2 -
Form OL-D, Dual Tax District Standard Kentucky Local Occupational License Fee Return has 
been developed in accordance with Kentucky Revised Statutes (KRS) 67.750 - 67.795. 
 
   The Kentucky Secretary of State is the repository for all local ordinances, tax forms, 
              instructions and other information related to Form OL-D, available at: 
                            http://app.sos.ky.gov/occupationaltax/. 
 
These instructions are provided to aid the licensee in the completion of Form OL-D. They are not 
intended to be all-inclusive and therefore should be used only as a supplement to the current 
KRS  and  license  fee  ordinances,  regulations  and  instructions  of  each  tax  district.  These 
instructions  do  not  supersede  any  provision  of  the  KRS,  local  ordinances,  regulations,  or 
instructions. 
 
NOTE: Form OL-D (Dual Tax District) is to be completed and filed with those taxing 
agencies that collect for two tax districts, e.g., a county may collect the tax for a city.   
 
                            GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS 
Who Must File: 
Corporations,  partnerships,  sole  proprietorships,  estates  and  trusts,  or  other  businesses 
engaged in an occupation, trade, or profession with a business nexus in a local tax district must 
file an Occupational License Fee Return. This return is required for each legal entity or individual 
that operates a business. [KRS 67.750(1)] 
 
 For individuals, some tax districts require one return per federal schedule, while others allow 
  combining of multiple federal schedules.  
 
 Some tax districts do not allow consolidated corporate returns while others require them.   
 
 Important: Some tax districts also assess the occupational tax on the wages of employees. 
  These are reported by the employer on separate forms. 
   
Individuals whose only business income is derived from compensation on which the tax has 
been properly withheld by the employer are not required to file this return. 
 
What is Subject to the Fee: 
 
Occupational fees are business license fees, not income taxes. Under the KRS, each entity or 
individual that conducts taxable business activities are subject to the fee based on either gross 
receipts or net profits, depending upon which method of taxation has been adopted by the local 
tax district. [KRS 67.750(13) & (14)] The method of taxation for all local tax districts can be found 
at http://app.sos.ky.gov/occupationaltax/. 
 
You Must File an Occupational License Fee Return Even If:  
 Your business activity resulted in a loss for the tax year.  
 
 You were not actively engaged in business during the year. In this case, check the box 

                                                                                     Page 2

   Your business activity ceased prior to the end of your fiscal year. In this case, check the box 
    designated “Final” in the Filing Status Section and answer question G on page 1 and 
    complete the remainder of Form OL-S. [KRS 67.763]  
 
   You applied for a business license with the intention of starting a business but never 
    transacted business and do not intend to do so in the future. Check the boxes on page 1 
    designated “No Activity” and “Final,” complete question G, and sign and date the return. 
 
                                                                                      th
When to File: Form OL-D must be delivered to the tax district or postmarked by the 15         day of 
    th
the 4  month after the end of the fiscal year (April 15 for calendar year filers). [KRS 67.750(3) & 
67.768] 
 
Where  to  File:    Current  addresses  for  all  local  tax  districts  can  be  found  at 
http://app.sos.ky.gov/occupationaltax/. 
 
Signature: All returns must be signed by an appropriately authorized person who is responsible 
for the preparation of the return. The person who signs the return must print his/her name and 
phone number in the area provided. 
 
Extensions: If an extension of time for filing is needed, a separate extension request must be 
filed with each tax district and is mandatory in all cases. Some tax districts have their own forms 
for requesting an extension of time to file, but most will accept a timely filed copy of the federal 
extension application with the district. Include your local tax district account number on the 
application. 
 
The extension request must be postmarked or hand-delivered to the local tax district on or 
before the original due date and it must be accompanied by the amount properly estimated as 
due. If a request for extension of time is timely filed, any amount that is not paid by the regular 
due date bears interest at the rate of one percent (1%) per month, or part of a month. [KRS 
67.770] 
 
Penalties for Failure to File and/or Pay: There may be a five percent (5%) penalty per 
month, or a part of a month, for failure to file and/or pay a tax by the regular or extended due 
date. The total penalty cannot exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the total tax due, and 
cannot be less than twenty-five dollars ($25). [KRS 67.790(1)] 
 
Estimated Tax:   Taxpayers, other than sole proprietors, who have a total tax obligation above 
$5,000 for any tax period may be required to submit quarterly estimated payments in the future.  
 
NOTE: An extension of time to file a return does not extend the time for making estimated tax 
deposits for the next year. [KRS 67.755] 
 
Penalties for Failure to Pay Required Estimated Tax:        If the local tax district requires quarterly 
estimated tax payments, underpayment penalties are based on the lesser of (a) twenty-two and 
one-half percent (22.5%) of the current taxable year tax liability; (b) twenty-five percent (25%) of 
the preceding full year taxable year tax liability; or (c) twenty-five percent (25%) of the average 
tax liability for the three (3) preceding full year taxable years' tax liabilities if the tax liability for 
any of the three (3) preceding full taxable years exceeded $20,000.  
 
Any business entity that fails to submit the minimum quarterly payment required above by the 
due date for the quarterly payment must pay an amount equal to one percent (1%) per month, or 
part of a month, of the amount of the unpaid quarterly payment required above. The penalty 
applies from the due date for the quarterly payment until the earlier of (a) the time when the 

                                                                                             Page 3

aggregate quarterly payments submitted for the taxable year equal the minimum aggregate 
payments due above or (b) the original due date of the annual return. [KRS 67.755(2)] 
 
Interest: Interest is computed at one percent (1%) per month, or a fraction of a month. Interest 
applies fromthe original due date to the date of payment. [KRS 67.755(3)] 
 
Claims for Refund:Claims for refund or creditmust  be submitted within two (2) years from the 
filing of the tax return, the due date of the tax return (including extensions), or the date of 
payment, whichever is later. [KRS 67.778]  
 
Amended Returns: The tax district may require amended returns where there is additional tax 
due for prior years. A general five-year statute of limitations applies [KRS 67.775]. If you are filing 
an amended return, check the box “Amended” on page 1. 
 
State Exemptions: The following are exempt under Kentucky law from the Occupational 
License Fee and are not required to file a return. [KRS 67.750(8)] 
1.  Any company that pays both an ad valorem tax and a franchise tax pursuant to the 
provisions of KRS 136.120.  
 
2.  Persons whose sole business activity is the manufacture of and/or sale of alcoholic 
beverages. (However, persons having only a portion of their business activity being derived from 
the manufacturing and/or selling of alcoholic beverages are required to file a return, but may 
exclude that portion of their net profits derived from such manufacture and/or sale of alcoholic 
beverages on the appropriate line of Schedule N.)  
 
3.  Insurance  companies  incorporated  under  the  laws  of  and  doing  business  in  the 
Commonwealth of Kentucky, except as provided in KRS 91A.080.  
4.  Banks, trust companies, combined banks and trust companies, combined trust, banking 
and title businesses and savings and loan associations, whether state or federally chartered.  
5.  Persons whose sole wages, salaries, commissions or other compensations for work 
performed or services rendered are derived from service as members of the Kentucky National 
Guard for active duty training, unit training assemblies or annual field training.  
6.  Persons engaged in the business of conducting a race track at which races are run for 
stakes, purses or prizes, under the jurisdiction of the State Racing Commission, whose only 
activity is the conducting of such race track and/or the operating or maintenance of pari-mutuel 
machines.  
 
In addition, payments received from the state as a share of the various tobacco settlement funds 
to  be  paid  to  farmers  are  exempt  from  inclusion  in  net  profits  which  are  subject  to  this 
occupational license fee. 
 
NOTE: Those otherwise exempt organizations that pay wages, salaries, commissions or other 
compensation for work performed or services in the tax district must apply for a license fee 
account and submit occupational taxes withheld from those wages, salaries, commissions or 
other compensation. 
 
Not-for-Profit Employers: Not-for-profit employers are required to withhold occupational taxes 
from compensation paid for services in the local tax district. When filing for a withholding 
account, proof of Internal Revenue Service approval of not-for-profit status must be submitted 

                                                                                                Page 4

with the application for a license fee withholding account and/or upon the request of the district. 
 
Special Provisions of Local Laws:      Local tax districts may have additional exemptions. Local 
exemptions can include minister’s compensation, certain agriculture sales, etc., although those 
entities may still be required to file a return. Please refer to the local tax district’s instructions 
form at http://app.sos.ky.gov/occupationaltax/. 
 
Separate Accounting Apportionment:     Taxpayers are not permitted to separately account for 
operations occurring within a tax district. If any entity has operations both within and outside a 
tax district, the total profit or loss per the entity’s federal return must be reported on Form OL-D. 
The total profit or loss is to be multiplied by the apportionment percentage that is based on gross 
receipts  and  wages  within  the  tax  district.  Use  Section  2  on  page  3  to  compute  the 
apportionment percentage. [KRS 67.753(4)] 
 
If you believe that the statutory apportionment methodology does not fairly represent the extent 
of the business entity's activity in the tax district, the business entity may petition the tax district 
for permission to use, or the tax district may require, another method. [KRS 67.753(4)]
