For the license year beginning January 1, 1983, and each license year thereafter, an annual license tax is hereby imposed for general revenue purposes upon every person in possession of any premises or portion thereof within the City in which any jukebox is installed for use at the rate of $10 for each jukebox, provided that no additional tax shall be imposed in the event that a jukebox is installed for use in lieu and instead of a jukebox which is actually removed from any such premises.

The annual license tax imposed by this chapter shall be due and payable on January 1 of each year, and, if not paid on or before February 15 following, a penalty of 10% shall be added thereto.

No deduction or refund of any tax imposed by this chapter shall be granted for any jukebox destroyed, stolen, sold or removed from any such premises.

The Tax Enforcement Administrator is hereby authorized and directed to make and keep such records, prepare such forms, make such regulations, and take such other measures as may be necessary or convenient to carry this chapter into effect.
