in other states or even in PA today (it has been over 35 years since I
collected taxes) but for the 5% collected, I kept 1% for my fee and
remitted 4% to the state. On a few million $$$ in sales, that 1%
would cover some software costs.

Huh? You helped yourself to a percent for your "fee"? I don't think
that would fly here and now. That is stealing.

me Hello, may I help you?

comptroller Yes, Mr. Morgan this is the state comptroller. Your tax

comptroller Well, it looks like you only charged 4% but the rate is 5%

me Yeah, I kept 1% for my 'fee'

comptroller You did what?

me I kept 1% of the sales tax for myself, I needed some software.

comptroller Mr. Morgan, could you please come to our office to discuss
this?
