Question on Business License

[Dan V.]

Background: A company was operating in Santa Monica from 2016 thru August 2018, then they are moving to LA by end of this month.  The business license tax period runs from July 1 to June 30 so since they're still operating in Santa Monica for around 2 months, they were required to renew the license for another year. 

Question: Is the company entitled for a refund from City of Santa Monica since they only operated for 2 months in the city?

I will appreciate any input.
