Each of 10 Million Motorists Must Pay Two-Weeks Salary in Taxes This Year
Petroleum Industries Study Estimates Various Taxes Levied on Auto Owners Amount to $50 Per Capita.
Some 10 million motorists will have to work “two weeks without pay” this year so they can meet their tax bill of $1,361,345,000, according to a report issued today by the American Petroleum Industries Committees. The Committee reasons this way: “The various taxes, two-thirds of which are on gasoline consumption, amount to about $50 per capita. “The majority of the nation’s moforists earn less than $30 a week (the average factory wage is $25). “Only one-quarter of the motorfists earn as much as $50 a week. “Therefore, it will require the eontents of two pay envelopes for taxes.” Last year’s gasoline taxes totaled nearly a billion dollars, the states collecting $756,930,000 and the Federal Government, $203,025,959, the committee said. State motor vehicle registration and other fees in 1937 amounted to $415,829,000, a gain of 11 per cent over 1936.
