GREENSBORO? You may have a
little something extra coming to you,
depending on your county of resi
dence.
According to the Internal Revenue
Service, North Carolina Taxpayers
may be able to deduct an amount in
addition to the sales tax tables pub
lished in the Federal income tax in
structions. First of all, the tables
have been revised to reflect 1966
costs of living and offer larger deduc
tions. But in addition, the 1% percent
local sales taxes which have been
adopted by various counties in the
last several months mean even
larger deductions.
Since the sales tax tables were
printed before many of the local sales
taxes took effect, the footnote for
North Carolina (number 11) should
be ignored.
- ?Taxpayers residing in the following
counties and itemizing their deduc
tions should compute the amount on
the sales tax table and then adjust it
by the following percentage.
For example Perquimans, Add 4
? percent, Pasquotank, add 4 percent
and Chowan, add 4 percent.
Tax returns filed for 1966 will be
the last on which any sales taxes can
be claimed. So be sure you claim the
full amount to which you are entitled. 1

Correction
In the December 11th edition of the
Perquimans Court news the article
stated that John Michael Winslow,
