Georgia Tax Notice Demands $100 Per Bicycle Wheel
Comptroller General W A Wright issues a ten day notice to bicycle manufacturers nationwide over a $100 tax per wheel sold in Georgia. The move targets dealers who sell wheels from nonpaying factories, with $10 per wheel collected from each local dealer if the tax remains unpaid. The bicycle trust disputes the burden, insisting one payment covers all wheels, but Wright holds each company responsible. The notice urges prompt payment to spare Georgia dealers from tax collection costs.
