Effect of State Tax Laws on Food Prices in West Virginia

The 1943 tax changes in West Virginia alter the consumers sales tax with a flat 50 cent exemption on food items such as bread milk and eggs and raise gross sales exemptions from 25 to 50 with a 30 percent discount. Gov Neely signed the consumer tax measure and vetoed the broader gross tax cut. Officials expect 1943 44 receipts around 8.5 million after first six months of effect, while 1942 yielded 11.17 million. War market factors further influence purchasing power and store activity while contracting business declines.
