Tax is the necessary evil. However, to ask business to switch to a new tax system and after 5 years to switch it back is a non starter to me. Unless you are in the IT or accounting business who benefits from this kind of things.
So the city will need to draft the rules, monitor the rules and train a whole bunch of city tax auditors that we don't currently have, all these for 5 years, does it make sense to anyone? What are you going to do with those city tax auditors after 5 years, fire them all?
A much simpler solution is just to increase property taxes which cost virtually no extra cost to administrate.
