Only 400,000 Farmers Apply For Tax Refund
WASHINGTON UP Only 400,000
of an estimated three million eli
gible farmers have applied for
refunds on taxes paid on gasoline
used on farms, the Internal
Revenue Service said Thursday.
This is the halfway point for
filing refund claims for the tax
paid during the first six months
of 1956. The deadline for filing is
Sept. 30.
A revenue spokesman said no
figures were available on the
amount of refunds paid the 400,
000 who have filed. One source
estimated the average might run
around $10 each, making, total
refunds to date about four million
dollars.
Although there may be a big
rush to meet the Sept. 30 dead-
line, the rough estimate of refunds
ito date contrasts sharply with the
j 30 million dollars the government
had expected would be claimed,
i When Congress approved a bill
last spring authorizing refund of
the two cents a gallon federal tax
on farm gas and diesel fuel, it
was estimated the refund would
total 60 millioi dollars annually.
Effective Ju'y l, the federal tax
on gasoline and diescl fuels went
up from two cents to three cents
a gallon. Therefore, In the fiscal
year ending next June 30, farmers
will be able to claim three cents
a gallon for fuel used on farms
and for fanning purposes.
DICK TURLEY, energenc manager of the Douglas County
Fair, sparked organization of this year's edition of the
evenf. The fair was re-organized in 1953, has been drawing
larger and larger attendances each year. Last year, the
fair was judged tops among counties of Oregon.
