John Terry Gunter, Jr. Gross sales drop in county while rising in Price City Business activity in Carbon County, as measured by sales and use tax receipts, totaled last year, a $187,059,000 decrease of 5.5 percent over 1985. Gross sales volumes in Carbon totaled County $197,947,000 in 1985. In Price business activity totaled $138,466,000 last year, an increase of 6.9 percent over 1985. This was reported by Utah Foundation, the private tax research organization, in an analysis of business activity in communities throughout Utah. The study emphasized that this change was based on gross sales volumes before a 1.9 percent inflation allowance. Gross sales volumes in Price totaled $129,547,000 in 1985; in Price and $99,366,000 $177,172,000 in the county in 1980; and $46,710,000 in Price and in Carbon $92,239,000 County in 1975. In 1970, gross sales volumes in Carbon County were only $36,319,000. In the state as a whole, business activity declined for the second consecutive year. Gross sales volume dropped by 1.5 percent last year. When an adjustment is made for the 1.9 percent decline in the purchasing power of the dollar, the total reduction in the effective sales volume amounted to 3.4 percent in 1986. The continued slowdown in activity has contributed to the financial problems faced by state and local governments in Utah. The sales tax is the most important revenue source for the state as well as for many Utah cities. Because sales and use tax collections have been well below earlier budget forecasts, the state had to cut back on 1986-8- 7 business expenditure authorizations on three different occasions during the year in order to keep the budget in balance. The 1987 Utah Legislature also enacted the largest tax increase in the states history. Foundation analysts point out that the adjusted sales volume in 1986 was at about the same level as it was back in 1978. In effect there has been virtually no growth in Utah business activity over the past eight years. By contract, business activity (as measured by adjusted sales volume) increased 78 percent (or an average of 7.5 percent per year) in the period between 1970 and 1978. All eight of these years registered positive economic growth in Utah. During the Calendar Community 1987 27 May 28 through June 2, Carbon High School graduation, 7 p.m., CEUBDAC.

Total sales volume in Utah during the 1986 calendar year amounted to $12.4 billion according to the foundation report. This was equal to about 69 percent of the total personal income in the state for the year. In 1978, sales volume in Utah was equal to about 80 percent of personal income. In other words, Utahns currently are spending a much smaller proportion of their personal income on taxable items than they did in the late 1970s. A larger percentage of their in- come now is probably going to meet other obligations (interest payments, taxes, housing costs, repayment of debt, medical bills, etc.) that are not subject to the sales and use tax. in 11th Circuit Court pleaded guilty to a charge of theft over $250.
