a check with the three offices
involved today Indicates that
numerous persons have had to
be rndirected. with consequent
delays.
First Step
First step is to make the con-
trlbutlOn to the school, which at
present is the Prince Edward
School Foundation, the only pri-
vate, non-sectarian system in the
couIty This is made at the office
Of the Foundation Building
Fund campaign in the Farmville
Town Council chambers in the
Municipal Building.
Second, take the Foundation
receipt for the contribution to the
office of the agent for the Prince
Edward county board of super
visors, Mrs. Mary R. Cheatham,
in Room SO in the Prince Ed
ward County Court House.
Mrs. Cheatham provides an
affidavit required to be filled out
before claiming the tax credit.
She cannot make the affidavit
without the receipt Of payment
to the School Foundation.
Then with both the receipt or
cancelled check for payment to
the school and the affidavit, tax
payers may take their tax as
sessment bills to the office of
County Treasurer j. w. Wilson.
Jr. The treasurer will make the
deduction and provide a receipt
for the taxes if paid at that time
Tax Payments
Wilson pointed out that tax
payers can present the school re-
ceipt and affidavit and arrange
for the tax credit without paying
taxes all at the same time. The
tax payment may be deferred to
the deadline date of December S.
The treasurer said that it would
help his office if persons who in
tend to delay paying their taxes
nearer the deadline date would
complete the tax credit portion
of the procedure earlier. This,
however, requires the first step,
the payment to the Foundation,
and the affidavit.
The maximum tax deduction
authorized by the supervisors is
IS per cent of the real and per-
sonal property taxes. No deduc-
ton is authorized against any Of
the other tax classifications. such
as machinery and tools or mer-
chants capital.
If the payment to the school is
not equivalent to Is per cent Of
the two taxes, the treasurer
makes deductions in lesser
amounts. No deduction may ex-
coed that percentage, however
Uniformity Required
The treasurer points out that
the school receipt and the aft
davit both must be made in the
name against which the taxes
were assessed. The same tax
payers names must appear on
both, and it must be the name on
the tax bills.
No tax credits will be allowed
after the tax payment deadline Of
December S.
The ordinance makes no limi-
tation on the amount Of the
school contribution. This may be
Of any size, but only up to Is
per cent Of it may be deducted
from the taxes.
