Taxable Contracting Activities All contractors are considered to be prime contractors and must have a transaction privilege license. This includes general contractors, subcontractors, and specialty contractors.
If a business is selling a product or engaging in a service subject to TPT, that business will likely need a license from the Arizona Department of Revenue (ADOR) and a TPT, or business/occupational license, from the city or cities in which the business has a base or operation.
The factor will have the right to terminate the factoring agreement at any time (i.e., not just at the end of the initial or renewal term) by giving usually 30 to 60 days prior written notice to your company. In addition, the factor will have the right to terminate the factoring agreement immediately upon any default.

Contractors engaging in taxable construction projects or activities are required to obtain a TPT license.
