Tax On Bonds Would Aid N.C. Says Johnson
Raleigh August 6 The proposed federal tax on income from state and local government bonds would help North Carolina says Charles M Johnson state treasurer and director of the local government commission He believes the tax would hurt states that issue many bonds but NC and its counties are unlikely to fall into that category He argues the tax could not be retroactive and would boost existing bond values If enacted Johnson says state bonds could be sold tax free for a premium to offset the tax He notes most bonds issued recently funded courthouses and schoolhouses with few large new issues likely for airports or defense projects He views bond taxation as unwise and unsound as a policy and a practical matter could benefit the state and political subdivisions only if enacted.
