Show WIDOWS AND VETS ESCAPE TAXATION In response to numerous inquiries inquir-ies from war veterans the following explanation is made with 'reference to the act of the last legislature exempting disabled service men from taxation: The law, which went into effect March 20, 1931, provides that the real and personal tangible property situate in this state owned by disabled dis-abled persons who served in any war in the military service of the United States, or of the state ot Utah, and any unmarried widows or minor orphans of such persons, to the value of, but not to exceed $3,000, is hereby exempted from taxation. Application for such exemptions shall be made to the county commissioners com-missioners of the county in which the applicant resides. The law further fur-ther provides that if the applicant is 100 per cent disabled the full exemption shall be allowed. If the certificate shows a lesser percentage of disability, then the percentage of exemption shall be correspondingly correspond-ingly less in the same ratio but no exemption shall be allowed for any disability below 25 per cent. |
