Must Pay the Soft Drinks Tax
Washington, . — The Bureau of Internal Revenue has come to the aid of confectioners who have been annoyed by customers refusing to pay the war tax. The bureau reminds the public that the repeal of the tax on soft drinks, passed by the House, has not yet been acted on by the Senate, and the tax is still in force. The public is reminded that willful refusal to pay the tax subjects a person to a fine of not more than $10,000 or one year’s imprisonment or both.
