City Ponders Gross Sales Tax on Retailers and Wholesalers
Joseph H. Hoge, head of Bluefield Produce and Commission, labels a proposed gross sales tax a class legislation aimed at retailers and wholesalers. The ordinance would tax 0.5 percent on gross business for retailers and 0.25 percent for wholesalers, replacing a 25-cent fire fee and a 1 percent rental tax. Hoge warns it could drive business to Virginia and across borders. J Hudson Huffard, Bluefield Business Men's president, supports a form of tax solution and views the new measure as a logical step toward solvency, noting some division within his group.
