Attorney Britt stated information, numerous documents, brochures and other evidence have been presented to the Tax Department to show that over the years in question the business was active in Marathon, Florida, with establishment of the Skeet Winner Corporation in the 1950's. From this date until the present, Mr. Winner's business of charter fishing has been predominantly carried out in Florida with the exception of a brief summer period in which the boats temporarily come to the waters of North Carolina and Carolina Beach to continue the charter business. Attorney Britt stated the Florida Corporation has filed a Foreign Corporation Certificate with the Secretary of the State of North Carolina. Attorney Britt presented background information on the corporation stating it is primarily engaged in the business of charter fishing. The Marina itself, or the real property portion of the Marina, is owned solely by the corporation. Property taxes are paid to the State of Florida as a result of the charter fishing business owning the marina. The corporation in Florida pays property taxes for the Marina, a sales tax on its charter business, and income tax. I Attorney Britt stated since the corporation is being taxed elsewhere, the State of North Carolina and New Hanover County should not tax the Corporation requesting the Commissioners to recognize that the WINNER QUEEN paid Florida sales tax, is home based in Florida, and is Coast Guard documented in Florida; therefore, no taxes are due since this is a Florida based boat. He also requested the Commissioners to recognize that the WINNER SPEED QUEEN was not owned by the Skeet Winner Corporation in 1985-1987; therefore, taxes should be listed and paid for the year 1988 but not for the two previous years. Commissioner Retchin requested an explanation as to why the corporation is deducting depreciation for both boats on North Carolina Income Tax Returns. Attorney Britt stated according to their accountant, the corporation is legally entitled to this deduction. After a lengthy discussion of penalties and interest, Commissioner Corbett MOVED, SECONDED by Commissioner Retchin to tax the WINNER QUEEN for the years 1982-87 with no penalties and interest assessed and to abate taxes for the year 1985-87 for the WINNER SPEED QUEEN since they did not own the boat. I Vice-Chairman 0' Neal expressed concern for releasing the penalty stating due to circumstances involved, he felt the Commissioners should follow the recommendation of the Tax Administrator and if the appellant is not satisfied, he can then appeal to the N. C. Property Tax Division for a final ruling. After further discussion, commissioner Retchin WITHDREW HIS SECOND TO THE ORIGINAL MOTION by Commissioner Corbett and made a SUBSTITUTE MOTION, SECONDED by Vice-Chairman 0' Neal to impose taxes and interest on the WINNER SPEED QUEEN for the years 1985-1987 and to impose taxes as recommended by the Tax Administrator for the years 1982-87 on the WINNER QUEEN abating penalties involved.
