Tax Decrease

Sweetwater County taxpayers can look forward to a tax decrease beginning January first. County Treasurer Robb Slaughter would like to remind all residents of Sweetwater County and specifically all sales tax vendors that the one cent specific purpose option tax will expire December 31st. He says the county sales tax will revert from six percent to five percent on sales that take place beginning January first.
Slaughter says the 9.7 million dollar initiative that was approved in November of last year for the Child Development Center will be fully collected with tax receipts through December. He says vendors in the county began to collect the additional one cent tax in April of this year. Slaughter says beginning January first, all sales tax vendors in the county are responsible for resetting the sales tax rate they collect to five percent.
