Sales Tax Nets
174 Million In
Two Year Period
The Georgia sales tax has produ
ced $174,251,695 since it went into
effect April 1, 1951, according to
Albert Dozier, director of the sales
tax unit.
For the past year the tax leveled
off at an average of more than SB,-
000,000 a month, Dozier explained.
Chain store operators have paid
$37,333,683 in sales taxes.. Out of
state firms have sent in $3,088,392.
Total collections for the year end
ing April 1, 1953, amounted to $97,-
699,294. Officials of the State Rev
enue Department do not expect the
sales tax to produce more than 100
million dollars in any year. That was
the figure set when the law was en
acted.
According to the sales tax unit of
ficials, there are few squawks about
paying the 3% sales tax. Merchants
collect the tax and remit monthly to
the revenue department less 3% for
collecting and reporting the tax.
The bulk of sales tax funds go to
support of the schools, for health
and highway purposes.
Food, Dozier explains, accounts
for 24 percent of the take from the
sales tax.
There has been talk at one time or
another of exempting such items as
food, milk, medicine and other items,
but as enacted Georgia’s sales tax
law permits no exemptions.
STUDY PLANTS
Landscape specialists for the Ag
ricultural Extension Service, Univer
sity of Georgia, say that you should
study the growth habits of plants
and save a lot of transplanting and
replacing later on. Some plants will
grow equally as well in sun or semi
shade while others definitely thrive
much better in one or the other.
