Special Taxes Hit Peddlers in Tennessee Markets
The new revenue act imposes a 7.50 dollar annual privilege tax on hats shoes barbed wire and hen coops sold by peddlers or agents, while ranges clocks clothing and implements require a 30 dollar annual tax. In counties over 35 000 inhabitants the same 30 dollar levy applies to selling or delivering ranges clocks clothing or implements, with exemptions for merchants already paying similar duties. Under these rules clothing peddlers linked to Nashville firms face heavier burdens, as both county and city can add 20 dollars per year.
