A television - set for $25, electric
ranges, $25, refrigerators, $10 and
a lot of other household things
tridiculously low prices are all
figures you have to put down
on your personal property tax re
port, according to Tax Supervisor
James E. Johnson. But you must
list or pay a penalty for not list
ing, and it is pretty hard to hide
television aerials or avoid inspec
tion by tax accessors. But the
officials are placing everybody on
his honors to tell the truth, the
whole truth and nothing but the
truth. The $25 listed for your tele
vision is not the actual value, but
an accepted flat rate for taxation
purposes. Your $25 television set
multiplied by the tax rate of $2.10
if you live in the county, will cost
you a little over 50c added taxes.
it you nve in iryon townsnip
with special tax rate, the rate
is $2.45. If you live in Tryon an
other $2 city tax is added mak
f' a total of $4.45 on each $100
nation, or about 4%c on the
lar. Your television set will in
crease your taxes about $1.25. The
farmer who owns a dog has to pay
the county a flat tax of $2. If he
lives in Tryon a $1 license tag is
added, making a total of $3 tax
to own a dog. It’s cheaper to own
a television set as far as taxes
are concerned than to own a dog.
All personal taxes must be listed
this month, or a penalty will be
added making it cost you more in
the long run. The County Com
missioners are hoping to lower the
tax rate by making a thorough col
lection to bring in the additional
revenue impartially from all tax
payers.
