RMS Tax Discovery

Received an RMS Tax Discovery Letter?

The City of Los Angeles values the many contributions of entrepreneurs and business owners.  If you have received an RMS Tax Discovery letter, it is because we received information affiliate sources that you may be engaged in business activities within the City of Los Angeles and do not currently hold a Business Tax Registration Certificate (BTRC).  You will know if you have received an RMS Tax Discovery Letter if the top portion of your mailing contains an RMS REF# account number as seen below.
