At the time of making an application, the applicant shall pay the tax administrator a permit fee based as follows:

(1) For the applicant whose gross receipts for the prior calendar year measured less than fifty thousand dollars ($50,000), a fee of twenty-five dollars ($25.00);

(3) For the applicant whose gross receipts for the calendar year measured at least one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000), but less than four hundred thousand dollars ($400,000), a fee of seventy-five dollars ($75.00);

(4) For the applicant whose gross receipts for the prior calendar year measured at least four hundred thousand dollars ($400,000), but less than one million dollars ($1,000,000), a fee of one hundred dollars ($100); and

The fee in this subdivision shall not exceed the sum of one thousand dollars ($1,000) for each permit at each place of business in Rhode Island when the "qualifying activities" referred to in this section and defined in § 44-44-2(20) and the sale of food products do not exceed ten percent (10%) of the gross receipts for each permit.
