Costs Little To Collect State Taxes
Raleigh reports North Carolina costs only 0.74 cents to collect one dollar from taxpayers. Revenue Commissioner Eugene G. Shaw told Gov. Kerr Scott that the expanding economy and better tax collection methods have helped fund the go forward program with minimal tax increases and left the general fund about 35 million dollars in credit. Shaw noted department reorganization widened tax burden equalization, with taxpayers rising from 649,701 in 1948 to 1,? remaining years, and sales tax merchants increasing from 59,068 to 64,553. Gasoline tax receipts may exceed 69 million for the year, largely beyond the small effect of a one-cent road bond tax.
