Merchants Pay For Tax Errors
In Charleston three central West Virginia merchants were fined a combined 999.75 by the state tax department for charging a flat two percent consumers sales tax on monthly and weekly credit accounts. Merandi Brothers of Flemington paid 654.50, John Patsey of Berryburg 204.25, and Frank Marra of Brownton 141. The revised law, effective July 1, shifts tax duties to the tax commissioner and maintains a perpetual levy to fund the school system.
