Warn About Wholesale Sales By Merchants Merchants who may be making sales which they class as whole sale, when they should be in the retail class, will find themselves “in the red” and short the amount of tax they should have collected when the revenue department checks up on their sales, Harry McMullan, sales tax division dir ector warns. “It \ias become apparent that many large buyers have attempt ed to evade the application of the law to their purchases by claiming a wholesale classification to which they are not entitled and merch ants are warned against such prac tice,” he said. The Sales Tax division field men will begin checking after Oct ober 16 on the merchants who show a sales tax return of less than the average for merchants of that kind and class, Mr. McMul lan said. When there is a discrep ancy in the tax one merchants pays as compared with a merch ant in the same class, the division will assume that something is wrong and will investigate books, invoices and other records to see why the difference, Mr. McMullan stated.
