We want your opinion
about taxes.
Nobody likes to pay taxds, but taxes are necessary to support government
services. The question is: What kind of tax do you think is the fairest to all the
people of the State?
Lately, a great deal of concern has been shown by many taxpayers. Should
we revise and update our B6-year old individual income tax rate structure?
Should the food tax, which now costs the typical family of four $61 00 per
year, be repealed? What taxes are fair and equitable?
We'd like for you to answer the six questions shown below. We'll pass your
opinions on to the members of our General Assembly With your help, we can
formulate the best tax system possible for all North Carolinians. Thank you.
1. In North Carolina, the mf n with a family of four and a $7,000 annual income
currently pays about 4% of his net income (after deductions and exemptions)
in income tax. A man with the same size family and a $ 15,000 income pays a
higher percentage, about 7%. In the same situation, a man with a $100,000
income also pays the s4me 7% rate. Do you feel this arrangement is fair?
Yes_ No_
2. Do you believe that individuals with higher incomes should hay higher tax
rates than individuals with low incomes? Yes_ No_
3. Do you believe that the sales tax should apply to food purchases?
Yes_ No._
4. How do you rate the following taxes, fair or unfair?
Fair Unfair Fair Unfair
Cigarette Tax _ _ Liquor Tax - —
Corporation Income Tax _ _ Property Tax - '
Food Tax _ _ Sales Tax - -
GasolineTax _ _ SoftDrinkTax - -
Individual Income Tax _ _
5. Which of the following measures would be most desirable?
Choose one: * •
A. _Repeal the sales tax on food.
B. _Increase income tax rates on high income.
C:_Both A. and B.
D. _Reduce state income tax on any business an amount equal to the
property tax it paid a county or city on its inventory.
E. -Reduce tax rate on the first $2,000 of taxable income by 1%.
F. _Both D. and E.
G. _None of the above changes would be desirable.
