Douglas County Tax Savings Revisited

by James Bell

I received an anonymous E-mail from “John” concerning the www.DouglasTaxes.com “Tax Savings Calculator”. John’s concern was that the calculations were too aggressive. The numbers were too high.

Here is what he said:
“I think your tax savings calculator is a little aggressive. At your current assumption the 1% sales tax would = $40 million/year or $4 billion in taxable sales in Douglas County annually. The numbers I have show $899,440,748 in retail sales. That would = $8.9 million/year in tax savings. Great idea though, I just don’t want you to loose credibility if someone starts thinking about those numbers. John”

Thanks John for your interest and input. Here is my response.
