Wisconsin Assembly considers 3 percent sales tax with exemptions
A six member Republican group in the Wisconsin Assembly introduced a bill for a 3 percent state sales tax with no exemptions for necessities. The plan would cut local property taxes about 18 percent and return $93 million of the $100 million estimated receipts to local units for the 1961-63 biennium. Exemptions include gasoline, cigarettes, intoxicating liquors, casual sales by non retailers, and sales to government or charitable groups. State Tax Commissioner Gronouski says corporate income taxes would drop about $8 million annually.
