Penalties Imposed
On All Delinquent
Sales Tax Returns
One important change in the new
sales tax law is- that reports are
now required to be made monthly
by every merchant, however small
his sales may be. Under, the old
law, if sales resulted in a tax of
less than ten dollars, reports could
be made quarterly. Another pro
vision of the new law is a uniform
penalty of five per cent (minimum
penalty one dollar) on all returns
not made by the 15th day of the
month. This penalty will become
effective on all returns not mailed
by August fifteenth, and monthly
there after.
