Tax law hits Tripoli as new federal levy takes effect
The Tripoli Leader reports the new federal tax law enacted last week will raise costs across the city. Electric use adds about 3 percent to each bill, bank check activity pays new taxes, and gasoline, oil, autos, sporting goods, soft drinks, jewelry, furs, toilet goods, tires, and boxes incur new levies. Local businesspeople face higher costs, with estimates from $10 to hundreds more annually. The changes, expected to show in July, will require citizens to contribute to the federal budget and impact Main Street merchants.
