Auto use tax stamp sales lag as new $5 stamp nears
Federal officials disclosed weak uptake for the new five dollar auto use tax stamp in Syracuse with only about 16 000 sold at the post office and 5 000 at the Internal Revenue Bureau versus Feb figures. The stamp becomes mandatory for windshield display and the old two dollar stamp expires July 1. Motorists face fines up to 250 dollars for noncompliance, and enforcement will rely on federal agents though local police have not been asked to act. To replace a lost stamp, motorists must file an affidavit including vehicle details and stamp serial number.
