CANDID COMMENTS
BY JAMES T. HENRY
CANDIDATE FOR STATE REPRESENTATIVE
The retail sales tax in Georgia has proven to be a serious nuisance to
consumers and to retail merchants. The people suffering mostly from this
nuisance are the middle class and low-income families who find it necessary to
count pennies to pay tax on each separate small purchase.
By the same token the merchant has the nuisance of computing sales tax
on each separate sale and the added burden of bookkeeping involved in keeping
the tax money straight and in making the reports to the State Revenue
Department.
The larger department stores and chain stores who have accounting and
bookkeeping departments as a part of their regular personnel do not suffer so
greatly from this burden.
However, the small local merchant with the family operated business
may find that it is necessary to hire additional personnel because of these tax
reports. The result being that his profit is less and that it is harder for him to stay
in business.
If the sales tax were paid by the wholesale merchant, on the sales that he
makes to the retail merchant, it would eliminate a serious nuisance to the
consumer purchaser and eliminate an unfair burden on the local family operated
business.
The State Revenue Department presently has a staff of approximately
one thousand employees. More than twenty-five percent of these are employed
full-time by some part of the sales tax operation. Another twenty-five percent
divide their time between sales tax and other functions of the department.
This suggested change could eliminate more than half the expense of
collecting and auditing the sales tax program, thus making a definite saving in
the state's budget and making it possible to reduce taxes.
This change would require an adjustment of the percentage of sales tax
and a reorganization on the part of the State Revenue Department to adjust to the
new system. However, when the adjustment is made, it can be handled with less
personnel and with less expense.
This is one of the items that 1 think should definitely be considered in a
tax revision program.
