Historic Oddity du jour: re 1930 KY Sales Tax 2018-03-17 - Columbia, KY - Photo submitted by JIM. In 1930, Kentucky imposed a progressive sales tax on retail sales. In July 1934, it was changed to a flat rate three percent and in 1936 was dropped altogether. One of stranger offshoots of the transition to flat rate was the (apparently short-lived) phenomenon of the sales tax card - in essence, a way for customers to prepay the tax. The image below appeared in a few editions of the News in late 1934. - JIM Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
