Bills Show Tax
City electrical system customers will note that beginning Jan. 1 a three percent sales
tax is listed on your utility bill from the city.
City Clerk Joe H. McDaniel, Jr. explains that this listing is a result of legislation
enacted by the North Carolina General Assembly and is intended to help you save on
your federal income taxes.
The law, according to McDaniel, provides that approximately one half of the North
Carolina 6 percent gross receipts tax, previously included in rates, becomes a sales tax.
The city’s rates have been reduced approximately three percent to reflect the lower
gross receipts tax and the fact that sales tax is shown separately, he said.
Do not add the sales tax shown on your utility card to the total of your bill, says
McDaniel.
If you itemize deductions on your federal income tax return, you should keep a record
of this as proof of payment just as you would any other deduction, McDaniel points out.
This tax applies only to your electrical bill and no other service, says McDaniel.
