BEER / WINE LICENSE
The law, Part XII of S.L. 2014-3, eliminated (nearly) all city and county privilege license taxes for tax years beginning on July 1, 2015.
The only license that remains will be the beer and wine licenses authorized as follows. Local beer and wine privilege license taxes are authorized by G.S.105-113.77 (city) and G.S. 105-113.79 (city wholesaler). Any business inside the town limits of Wilkesboro selling beer or wine for on-premises or off-premises consumption should be paying the applicable local beer and wine tax.
Forms Required:

The two general statutes that were repealed in 2014 by the NC General Assembly: Part XII of S.L. 2014-3 repeals G.S. 153A-152 and G.S.160A-211 as of July 1, 2015. Those two statutes authorize counties and cities respectively to levy privilege license taxes. Without those two statutes, counties and cities have no authority to levy privilege license taxes.
