Rules for collecting tax under the new state sales tax
The piece explains how the new state sales tax works and who must collect it. Vendors selling their own manufactured goods are exempt from the tax. The tax applies only to resold commodities. Merchants must apply one of three tax computation scales and cannot choose arbitrarily. The lowest taxable item is 14 cents. Merchants selling 17 cents and under above five percent of total business may add one cent to a 14 cent item. Those with under five percent cannot tax items under 17 cents. A third class of merchants, with no sales at 17 cents or less, may add a straight three percent to all sales, rounded to the nearest even figure.
