OPA Gives Regulations
On Revenue Taxes
|
In answer to numerous requests
from merchants throughout the
Territory, Mildred R. Hermann, |
Alaska Director of OPA, has just
announced the official policy of
the agency in regard to taxes of
any kind which may increase the
cost of living in Alaska.
“The Office of Price Adminis
tration,” Mrs. Hermann stated, “is
not concerned with the merits of
a sales or excise tax as a revenue 1
measure. It is concerned however, j
with anything that may tend to
affect the present price levels in
the Territory. In the event a law
is enacted that levies a tax to be
borne by the sellers, the OPA j
could not, under its regulations,
authorize any price increase to
sellers which would tend to in
crease the consumers’ cost of liv
ing.
“However, if the law imposing
the tax does not prohibit the seller
from stating and collecting the tax
separately from established ceil
ing price, the OPA’s policy would
be the same as has been applied
on commodities now carrying an
excise tax. That is, the seller
would be permitted to collect such
tax in addition the the ceiling
price. In that case, however, ac
cording to the general policy of
the OPA throughout the country,
complete records would be requir
ed on all sales transactions subject
1 to such tax, on commodities con
i trolled by OPA regulation, show
ing such tax as a separate charge.
These records* would have to be
available to us in order to main
tain OPA's means of checking
compliance,” Mrs. Hermann said.
