Show THtRSDAT, 3VLY 2, 1959 A group of new taxes imposed afby the 1959 State Legislature fects every citizens of the State. Foremost among these are the new sales tax on services, hotels, motels, trailer courts, laundries and cleaners; the general withholding tax on income; the gasoline tax refund to farmers; and the local option sales tax of M affecting only those counties which have passed a sales tax Sales Tax on Services The sales tax on services is the most difficult for the ordinary citizen to understand. To clarify, the tax applies only to services connected with tangible personal property. There is no tax levied on labor or services performed on real property. There is no tax on professional or other services performed upon the person of the taxpayer. For example: if you paint your house, there is no tax on the painting labor. If you have your furnace repaired, there is no tax because the furnace is a part of your real property. However, if you have your television set repaired or your automobile washed or lubricated or your dining room set refinished, the labor is taxable. The barber who cuts your hair or the hair dresser who gives a permanent must not collect the tax because he is performing a service on your person. Similairly, physicians and dentists bills do not carry the tax. Where the local option sales tax does not apply the rate of tax remains In a number of counties where the tax has already been enacted, the tax will be 2. 2V. Income Tax Withholding; A tax of wide application which affects all wage earners from whom federal income tax is now being witheld is the new withholding on wages or salaries for state income tax purposes. Every employer, effective July 1, must withhold from the wages due his em of the amount which ployees 1 he already withholds for the Federal Government. If the first pay check after July 1 covers part or all of June, he must withhold on it nevertheless. Employers must report quartely to the Tax Commission on forms supplied by the Commission and remit the taxes withheld at the same time. The employer must also make an annual report on the regular Tax Commission form similar to that required by the Federal Gov- ernment Employees will still be required to file the regular state income tax return prior to April 15 of the year following, at which time their returns will be matched up with the reports from their employers. Tables have been prepared to cover withholding, for the use of employers, on the basis of weekand ly, monthly pay periods. A sample of these forms will be supplied by the Tax Commission to anyone requesting it, if the taxpayer will indiciate what , his pay period is. Employers failing to withhold are liable for the tax they should have withheld and the employee is not held responsible by law. Gasoline Tax Refund to Farmers The third important tax change is that which relates to the refund to farmers of gasoline tax paid by them for the purpose of cultivating their crops. The period for which a farmer may get tax credit begins July 1, 1959 and extends to June 30, 1960, and from every similar period thereafter. Applications for refund may be submitted at any time between July 1, 1960 semi-month- ly and September 30, 1960. To qualify, a farmer must submit to the Tax Commission an application for refund permit. These forms are now available by writing the Tax Commission or by inquiry from your Farm Bureau office or major gasoline distributor. Information is required by the Commission on the number of acres cultivated, type of crops raised, type of soil and number description of gasoline power u.iits used. Farmers are requied to save their paid invoices for gasoline. They are also required to obtain a clearance from their county assessor to show that property tax has been paid on the gasoline-powere- d machinery used. On July 1, 1960 or before September 30, 1960, the farmer must submit to the Commission a request for refund on a Tax Commission form, to which will be attached paid invoices for gasoline and the clearance from the county assessor. No refunds will be processed for less than $15.00. Refunds may be obtained only once each year for the fiscal year preceding Local Option Sales Tax The fourth tax measure of great importance to those counties municipalities adopting it is the local sales and use tax. Up option to this moment eight counties have adopted the tax. They are: Salt Lake, Davis, Washington Piute, Daggett, Kane, Grand and San Juan. Others may shortly do Where counties pass the local ordniance, cities and towns mav follow suit and get credit for the tax collected within their incorporated limits. The tax outside city and town limits will accrue to the county. New sales tax collection brackets have been approved by the Tax Commission for the counties enacting the ordniance. Sample copies have been sent to all registered retailers within these particular counties. It will be necessary to collect a lc tax on purchases beginning with 5c and going to 59c; 2c from 60c to 99c; 3c from $1.00 to $1.39, and so on. The new tax goes into effect on July 1 for counties passing it prior to that date. Other counties may not impose it until the beginning of the following quarter, or October 1. -- Festival Series to Provo Plans Huge Feature Two Top Performances July Fourth the famous opera.
