Abstract:
The automobile was in its infancy in the state in 1909 when the General Assembly passed a law levying a registration tax on motor vehicles. That was the beginning of highway user taxes in the state. Today this program brings in $400 million a year, and every person, business, or corporation owning or operating a motor vehicle in the state contributes to it. This article presents information on what these taxes were, are, and what they could become.

Abstract:
The North Carolina Senate proposed a constitutional amendment that would cap the state’s income tax rate at 5.5 percent. If it is approved, the state will have to look for other revenue sources or cut public services whenever it needs money. One revenue stream would be a sales tax increase, which would hit lower-income families the hardest.

Abstract:
The North Carolina State Department of Tax Research has been investigating the discussion of the proposal to give credit on state taxes for income taxes paid to the federal government. Research into other state approaches has shown that with this system, equity is not served to the taxpayer, there are problems with administration and budgeting, and most of all, there is a loss of total revenue from the state's General Fund.
