6 days confidence: peer agreement (net): +1 | 營業執照稅
Explanation:
While both 營業執照稅and 商業牌照稅appear to be correct translations, the former is definitely more accurate and formal. As a matter of fact, the English term "commercial license tax" is a bit unusual. First, "commercial license" is a term rarely used in tax laws of the world. It is normally called "business license." In PRC and Taiwan, the formal legal term is 營業執照, rather than 商業牌照. The term 牌照 normally refers to permits issued by a government to boats and vehicles, whereas 執照means certificates issued to
business entities, organizations, professionals, etc. In English, however, both are referred to as "License."
Second, the term "license tax" is more precisely "license fee," which is equivalent to 規費 or simply 費 in Chinese. PRC tax laws do not levy "tax" on license, but fees are payable for the issue of licenses. The same goes true in Taiwan. However, Delaware state does require payment of annual corporate "franchise tax", which is the same as license fee by nature, and is generally translated into 特許稅. Therefore, the Chinese translation 執照稅 may be acceptable.
