Agencies Entitled to Tax Evasion Must Get Refund
State Treasurer T. W. Bass announced that all governmental agencies and subdivisions exempt from the 1 cent federal gas tax must pay the tax and then file a claim for refunds unless they buy directly from refineries. Based on an opinion from deputy revenue collector R. W. Estes, duplicates receipts would support refunds from the federal government. Bass noted thousands of dollars could be saved by obtaining duplicate receipts for official gas purchases. The tax is due when fuel is bought from local dealers, and the state highway department stands to benefit most. Bass prepared his first refund claim for his own field men.
