Motorists Hit By Taxes Across Federal State and Local
Washington reports that motorists bear heavy tax burdens from federal state and local governments after two years of tax increases. Excise taxes on gasoline oil tires and accessories are projected to raise over 250 million for the federal government while states and municipalities add more through license and vehicle taxes. 1931 personal vehicle taxes totaled 1 025 billion with motorists paying about one tenth of the national tax bill and 1932 figures expected higher. Gasoline taxes have risen to as high as 11 cents a gallon in some states and filling stations now function as toll collectors for multiple levels of government.
