NEW LAW IMPOSES
TAX ON RETAILER
Merchants* License Tax of One
Tenth of One Percent
Now Effective.
While the general assembly of
North Carolina did not pass the
Day nor the Hinsdale forms of
sales tax, in the last few days of
the session a law was passed which
was called a "merchant's license
tax" requiring the merchants, both
wholesalers and retailers to pay a
tax on their sales. The wholesale
business are required to pay at,
a rate of approximately 1-20 of 1 I
per cent and retailers are required !
to pay 1-10 of 1 percent on all i
sales. It is the levy
will produce approximately $750,-
000 annually and that the mer
chants would have that amount or
more in ad valorem tax reductions
by virtue of the other revenua
producing laws which were passed ]
during the session.
The new law requires all mer- j
chants to keep sales records and)
invoices from and after June 1,
1931, for a period of three years
or until an agent of the state de- i
partment of revenue checks same.
It provides that the commissioner of
revenue must furnish blanks for
reports of sale, and that payment
of the tax must be made semi-an
nually on the 10th day of Decem
ber and June of each year. It re
quires all sales to be reported, j
whether made for cash or on time. [
but makes provision for subse
quent deducting accounts found to '
jbe worthless. It exempts from tax
. ation sales of guano and
' and those dealers engaged in gar
dening and farming and selling
j products raised by them in North
| Carolina do not come under the
j provisions of the law. The law
j also specifies that no county oc
I city shall levy and tax under its
provisions.
The penalty prescribed for vio
lating the law in failing to make
a report or pay the tax when due,
or for making a false report, is
the traveling expenses and per
diem for an agent of the depart
ment for making an investigation
and securing a corrected report,
and, in addition, the offend* 2 ;*,
upon conviction, is guilty of a mis
demeanor. v
NEWSPAPER MISFITS
All newspaper men can't be pros
perous any more than all farmers,
or all merchants, or all people in any
other line of work can be prosperous.
Some misfits try to publish papers.
They ought to be doing something
else. Some towns or territories have
too many papers. There isn't enough
business to go around. Some men
haven't enough capital to properly
equip and finance themselves. They
; ought to wait until they are better
I able to start. All papers ought to be
j prosperous. It would be fine if they
j could. But the time will never come
1 when all will or can make raon p y.
