V INCREASE OVER LAST YEAR Uncollected Franchise and Corporation I Taxes Now In Hands of C.unty 8hrlffs. . ' Raleigh, Revenue collections for Jh year 1923 of $5,760,267.93, or approximate ly $250,000 less than the, bud ?t com mission's estimate of $6,000,00 1 tor the year, were reported here by State Commissioner of Revenue R. A. Doughton. In making public his . re port Mr. Doughton expressed the opin ion that the total collections, when Several outstanding Items were col lected, would equal and perhaps ex ceed the figure set by the. budget commission. ' He stated that the collections had been greater on every item than the commission had estimated except the inheritance taxes, which tell - short by' $276,000. There is due the department, as serted the commissioner, a consider able amount of inheritance tax which la in process of collection, and when paid into the department will very materially reduce this decrease as compared with the previous year. ine collections 01 we aeparimem for 1923 exceeded those of 4922 by nfore than $2,500,000, but Commis sioner Doughton explained that this was in large measure due to the tact that the 1923 legislature transferred from other departments to the de partment of revenue the collection of certain classes of revenue. The fig ures shown for 1923 included $10, 220.20 license tax collected by the department, but paid directly into the atate treasury. An item of $22, 791.27 uncollected franchise and cor poration tax was shown in Commis sioner Doughton's report, the indivi duals making up this amount being now in hands of various sheriffs throughout the stste for collection. The statement Issued with the re port expressed as the opinion that the license taxes under schedule B, of the revenue act, collected by the depart ment of $4,180.29 is' materially In ex cess of the amount of this license tax, which has heretofore, been col lected by the sheriffs of the counties. The amount of $418,029 covers the tax collected by the department from June 1, 1923, to December 31, 1923, only, the tax collections from January 1 to June 1, 1923, having been col lected by the sheriffs of the counties. "It Is also the opinion of the de partment that the corporation fran chise and public service corporation privilege tax collected for the year 1923 is in excess of the amount col lected for the year 1922."
