Privilege Tax Case Will Be Appealed
Charleston WV Motor Vehicles Commissioner Jack A. Nuckols announced an appeal of a circuit court ruling invalidating part of the automobile privilege tax. The decision could cut about 10 percent of the roughly 5.6 million dollars the tax yields annually. The judge found the 3 percent tax on full price of out of state purchases unconstitutional, while trade-in credits must be available to all buyers regardless of where the car was bought.
