Leonard Plans to Test Sales Tax Law and May Make Himself a 'Martyr'
Raleigh April 15 Publican J Paul Leonard secretary of the North Carolina Fair Tax association plans to open a sales tax free store in Winston Salem to test the sales tax law. Revenue Commissioner A J Maxwell says the test is unnecessary and could lead to indictments or tax actions. If Leonard advertises absorbing the tax he would violate the revenue act and face legal action. If he pays the tax under protest and sues, it would mirror what any North Carolina merchant could do since July 1, 1933.

The secretary of labor would report violations to the Justice Department for prosecution. Green noted 25 cents is too low but supports a single national standard without regional differentials and backs enforcement provisions.
