North Carolina tax plan eyes county option, revenue shifts
The proposal allows county commissioners to levy a local gross receipts tax within set limits and distributes proceeds between counties and their municipalities. It would end certain exemptions, tax real property owned indirectly by government bodies, and simplify the income tax return with a witnessed signoff. Projections show sales and income tax yields for 1943-45 below current biennium totals.
