Telephone Users Paid Average Of $14 In Excise Tax ' Southern Bell customers in Clinton paid an average of $14.00 each pi federal excise taxes on telephone service in 1900. The to tal excise tax hill for Southern Bell’s customers in South Caro lina was nearly $4 million, ac cording to T. M. Youngblood, Jr., Telephone Company manag er here. The 10 per cent tax is levied on both local and long distance tele phone service. Excise taxes are also placed by the federal gov ernment on luxury items, such as .ewelry, liquor and furs, but telephone service is the only household utility that is so taxed Mr. Youngblood said. The excise tax on telephone ser vice was enacted as a war-time emergency measure to raise rev enue and to cut down on non military use of telephone facili ties. ‘It was supposed to be a tern-, porary measure,” Mr. Young blood said, “but it is still in ef fect.” Removal of the tax would di rectly benefit all telephone cus tomers, he said. “The tax is add ed to our customers’ bills each month and the telephone com pany merely collects the tax and passes it along to the federal gov ernment,” he explained. The tax on local telephone ser vice was scheduled to expire last June 90, but Congress extended it until June 90, 1961. McQintock Is Chairman Of T. B. Association G. N.
