OPS ITEMS
Dealers who mi so the
price of cigarettes
more, than one cent a
package under the new
excise tax law are in
violation of Office of
Price Stabilization
regulations, George N. ,
Apostol, enforcement
director for OPS said
t oday•
The new excise tax
added-another penny to
the retail price of
cigarettes. Commenting
on the tax, ^postol
said: "It has been
brought to my attention
that certain dealers
have raised the price
of cigarettes more than
one cent a package. If
they have, they are in
violation of OPS regu
lations and subject to
penalties."
The new excise tax on
gaaolino may be added
to ceiling prices on
gasoline, the OPS said
today. i
The new tax will add
one-half oent;a gallon'

bo added only in the
actual amount of the
increase* Thus, is a
sale of ten gallons is
made, the tax increase
would add an extra five
cents to the sale.*
However, on odd-unit
sales, tho dealer may
round off to the near
est cent.
Liquor denlcrs may
apply their regular
percentage markups to
the now excise tax whan
figuring ceiling prices
on liquor, the OPS said
today. There had been
some confusion among
liquor dealers as to
how this tax could be
passed on to the con
sumer, Neil S, Miller,
anchorage Office Manag
er for OFS, said he had
been advised by the
Territorial Office in
Juneau that liquor
dealers may treat the
new excise tax as an
added invoice cost and
apply their customary
percentage markup to
the increased cost to
them. The OPS quali
fied the statement,
however, by pointing
out that this may be
done only if the tax
is included in the in
voice cost and not sta
ted separately. The
same basis may be used
in figuring tax in
creases on floor stocks
OPS cautioned dealers
not to pyramid the tax

price increases.'
