Income tax from copper producers in Arizona
Five cents per pound profit is the broadest figure now used to estimate copper taxes under federal mining provisions. Tax rates vary from 2 to 12 cents per pound per Arizona production, with a 3 cent minimum yielding about $21,000,000 for the state. An increase of one cent adds roughly $7,000,000. at 3, 5, and 12 cents, federal tax would be about $200,000, $500,000, or $1,200,000 for a 10,000,000 pound output.
