Businesses who want the "privilege" of paying taxes
You can tell the tax is a minor cost for the business. Becoming a bigger part of the state's political economy is much more important. I guess the business owners believe that paying taxes will mean less harassment from officials.

Nevada brothels currently pay taxes and fees to the local government but they do not give any revenues to the state.
A lobbyist for a brothel owners' group, which supports the taxation proposal, said they want the "privilege of participating" in the state tax system.
"I think it will give us some added acceptability," George Flint of the Nevada Brothel Association said.
"I think it will probably become money the state will be able to use and appreciate," he told the Associated Press news agency. (Link)
