Duchesne County Occupation Tax Ruled Illegal
The Utah attorney general ruled that Duchesne County may not levy an occupation tax on wholesalers delivering merchandise and foodstuffs within the county. The 1850 ordinance imposed annual license fees of 1 to 10 on various wholesalers including beer milk bread and confectionery products. The opinion, sent to Duchesne County Clerk Porter Morrill, distinguishes revenue licenses from perverse municipal taxes and notes regular deliveries by non resident wholesalers.
