SALESTAXLEVIED ON BEER SALES, TEIO Must Be Charged Wherever The Beverage Is Sold Director Holds M Dally Diapntok Btirenw. In the Sir Walter Hotel. BY J. C. MASKERVILL. Raleigh, Aug. B.—All those who sell beer, either in bottles or on draught, must pay the State the three per cent sales tax on such sales as well as the regular State beer tax, according to a ruling issued today by Commission er of Revenue A. J. Maxwell hnd Harry McMullan, director of the sales tax division. A ruling calling this to the attention of all dealers and mer chants was issued today by these of ficials following a meeting here yes terday with a group of merchants dealing with this subject. "Apparently because they thought the regular state tax on beer was the only tax they had to pay, a majority of those who have been selling beer have not been charging the sales tax on it, McMullan said. ‘‘Yet every sale of a 10 cents glass of beer is subject to a 1 cent tax, as, Hr the sale of every bottle at either 15 cents or 20 cents per bottle. ‘‘This tax must also be charged in restaurants, cases, buffets, beer gar dens, hotels, filling stations or any where beer is served although food prepared and sold in any of these .places is not subject to the sales tax. Thus, if a customer orders a bot tle of beer and a cheese sandwich, he must pay the tax on the beer but no tax can be charged on the sand wich as long as it is prepared In the place where it is sold. For no sales tax is assessed against sales of food (Continued on Page Fontl , PUBLISHED IN THIS SECTION OF NORTH CAROLINA AND VKGINIA. HENDERSON, N. C., TUESDAY AFTERNOON, AUGUST 8, 1933 H.
