Urged steps to curb city sales tax violators
Acting City Assessor A Truman Helm will urge hiring at least two auditors to pursue delinquent privilege tax payers. The assessor’s office cannot estimate total delinquency amounts, but one staffer said two auditors could bring in at least 50000 dollars, a conservative figure. Irregularities include firms outside the city adding tax to bills and holders failing to file returns or properly itemize deductions. City officials suspect violators may withhold reports to force a court test of the ordinance.
