Tax Proposed on Consumers of Gas in Arkansas
A proposed one cent per thousand cubic feet tax on all natural gas sold in Arkansas is being considered for a special legislative session Aug 14. J B Brooks chairman of the Spry Arkansis Board of Conservation sent letters Aug 3 estimating $300,000 annual revenue to be divided 90 percent to common schools and 10 percent to the Board. The letter notes gas use exceeds 30 billion cubic feet yearly, mostly transported from Louisiana Texas and Oklahoma tax free for severance, and argues gas distributed to consumers should bear a fair tax burden.
