Tax To Be Effective
- n NorthC arolina July

" North Cardinals new taxation
Plan-the three per cent tax on al!
retail sales of articles except gaso-
line, fertilizer and foodstufs-will
go into effect at one minute after
the stroke of II o'clock, Saturday
morning, July l.
Authorities predict it will raiye
approximately $s,o0o,O0O a year
and is expected to go far toward
balancing the 1885 budget,
which calls for support of a state
wide eight months school term.
Exemptions are made only on "nec-
essary" foodstuffs."
To beat the sales tax, a number
of local merchants this week are
offering merchandise at exception
ally low prices today and tonight,
and are anticipating a spirited sale
of goods.
Entitled emergency revenue act
to provide for the deficit in oper-
ating expenses of the state govern
ment and to protect its credit, to
provide a. balanced budget for the
ensuing biennium to provide ad-
ditional tax relief through a uni
form statewide public school sys-
tenn without a tax on property"
the bill was passed by the 1888
legislature which adjourned after
about five months in Raleigh.
The tax was revised as a license
or privilege tax for engaging or
continuing in the business of
merchandising" Commissioner A.
J. Maxwell of the revenue depart
ment said in a recent statement.
ut is the purpose and intent that
such a tax shall be added to the
sale price of merchandise and there
by be passed on to the consumer
instead of being absorbed by the
merchant" he said.
Commissioner Maxwell last week
met with a large group of mer~
chants in Raleigh to discuss de-
tails of levying the tax. No def
mite announcement was made at
the time by Mr.. Maxwell as to de-
tails of collection, but the mer j..
chants were assured there would be
no revenue stamps to moisten and
paste on price tags, with possibili-
ty of low-priced articles being ex-
empted from the tax, inasmuch as
it would be difficult to fix tax on
articles selling for five and ten
cents. The merchants were assur-
ed by the Revenue Commissioner
that rules and regulations for COL
Letting the tax would be promul-
gated within a few days.
The sales tax levy lifts the -
cent advalorem tax off property
and also removes special taxes in
special school districts.
