Sales Tax Levy
Poses Problems
Enforcing.collecting of the Sales
tax came in for considerable dis
cussion at the Council meeting
Monday night. Instances of lack of
cooperation has been noted, ac
cording to some of the Council
members.
One question, asked by a Coun
cilman: “There have been in
stances brought to my attention
where the tax was not collected.
Is the tax paid by the merchant
and turned in in cases of this kind?
It works a hardship on other mer
chants,” he stated.
Instances have arisen when the
customer has refused to pay the
tax. Mayor Coon suggested the
customer be handed a printed
form, stating he refuses to pay the
tax, and this turned over to the
City Treasurer. This idea was vot
ed down as working a hardship on
the merchant
Councilman Berg brought up
another problem in collection of
sales tax. “In instances where a
boat owner, other than skipper of
va*«©mraon-carrier, purchases goods
• and ..material for residents of a
village' on the island, should he
pay a sales tax?”
The concensus of opinion among
Council members was that resolu
tions be drawn utp, which would
interpret the ordinance, and that
they be publicized. These would
amount to in effect saying, “Lets
do it this way.” The problems
would resolve themselves, they
felt, as time went on. This has been
the experience of other municipal
ities having a sales tax, it was
said.
