upon a bracket system. The bracket system for the collection of the one percent (1%)
sales tax shall be as set forth in Exhibit A, attached hereto and made a part hereof by
reference. The retailer shall calculate the tax upon the entire amount of purchases of the
consumer made at a particular time subject to this Ordinance, and not separately upon

system which is in excess of the amount of tax for which they are liable to the City during
the period as compensation for the work of collecting said tax.

sales transaction within the City of McCall, a local -option sales tax is imposed. For a sale
of goods, a sale is made in the City when title passes to the buyer in the City. When

of McCall to a location outside the City, then no sales tax is owed to the City.

amount equal to three (3) times the actual, determined, or estimated average monthly amount

challenging said penalty determination. If no appeal is timely made as herein provided, said
penalty determination shall be final.
(B) Any person who is required to collect, truthfully account for, and pay over any tax imposed
by this Ordinance and who willfully fails to collect such a tax or truthfully account for or pay
over such a tax, or willfully attempts in any manner to evade or defeat such a tax or payment
