Utah Tax Report Notes 2.5 Percent Increase in Collections
The Utah State Tax Commission reports a 2.5 percent overall rise in tax collections for the period ending March 31, 1950, despite declines in income and corporate taxes from 1949 to 1950. Sales tax climbs 15.6 percent, aided by increased consumer buying, while motor fuel tax falls 35.5 percent due to timing of credits. Delays in quarterly installments by some corporations partly explain the income and corporate shortfall, and Kennecott Copper and Park City mine closures are cited as concurrent factors.
