West Virginia counties and cities may levy taxes on vending and other automatic machines beyond the 50 cent state tax, per an attorney general opinion. The state tax does not bar higher municipal levies, but any excess must be judged as reasonable by the courts. The 1961 law cut the decal price for such machines to 50 cents, with a general state store license as the remaining requirement.
