Sales Tax to Raise Problems
That Legal Experts Must Settle

land residents. This Was done
under the Maryland use tax.
Much the same rulings should
apply. lawyers say. as to any goods
bought In Virginia. tax free, for
shipment into the District. After
the sales tax becomes effective
here. since the District Law also
includes a compensating use tax.
Auto Purchase Examples.
For instance. If q District res
ident were to buy an automobile
In Virginia, after the sales tax
becomes effective here, he would
not have TO pay per cent tax
on the purchase in Virginia, but
he would have 10 pay the same
2 per cent levy here before he
could get a District title to his car.
And he could not get 4 District
license to operate his car here
until he had q District title.
But. the legal experts explain,
II q bona fide resident Of Virginia
bought an automobile In Virginia
while still living there. and later
moved into Washington teven
after the sales tax became efiec-
tive here and brought his car into
the District. neither his car nor
his other personal properties would
be subject to the sales tax nor the
compensating use tax.
This property owner merely
would be moving his personal be-
longings from one residence TO q
new one.
Generally oil services. as dis
tinguished from personal property
sales. are exempt from the sales
tax. except for utility bills and
transient hotel rooms dncludine
tourist camps and the likel TO
which the 2 per cent levy viii be
applied.
Household Fuels Taxed.
Artificial gas. oil. electricity. solid
fuel or steam are exempt from the
tax only when used for the pur-
poses Of manufacturing. assem-
bling. processing or refining But
when such fuels are used for
household purposes. including
house heating. they are TO be
taxed. the lawyers say.
