Re: Reduction in Salt Lake City
Utility Revenue Tax
Dear Ms. Higham:
It is my understanding that the City Council of Salt
Lake City recently reduced by 1% the utility revenue tax
imposed by Salt Lake City on utility service furnished to
customers located within the City limits. In order for
Mountain Bell to adjust its records, we need a certified
copy of the ordinance reducing the tax. Therefore we would
appreciate your forwarding a certified copy to me as soon as
possible.
Very truly yours,
f�'
