Bill Targets Tax On Stored Property And Sightseeing Cars
A proposed law drafted by the district board of personal tax appraisers seeks to tax stored personal property and regulate sightseeing automobile companies. The measure would require storage firms to pay 6 percent of gross receipts on stored goods and impose franchise and bond requirements to ensure tax collection. It aims to capture taxes from furniture and other articles kept in local warehouses when owners are away, and would place sightseeing operators on par with street railways to secure district revenue.
