BACKGROUND: North Carolina General Statute 105-228.37 sets forth the procedure for requesting a refund of overpayment of excise tax. The statute states a taxpayer who pays more than is due may request a refund by filing a written request for a refund with the Board of County Commissioners of the county where the tax was paid, and must explain why the taxpayer believes a refund is due. On September 7, 2022, the Love Law Firm electronically submitted a Deed for recording stating the amount of excise tax due as $1,460.00, which was collected during the time of recording. The attorney, Robert Love with Love Law Firm, later stated the amount of excise tax due based on the purchase price of the property was $430. Mr. Love drafted and recorded an Affidavit of correction describing the error on September 27, 2022, and is requesting a refund for $1,030 for overpayment of excise tax. FINANCIAL IMPACT: This action involves a refund in the amount of $1,030 to the Love Law Firm for the overpayment of excise tax. SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPACT: There is no Orange County Social Justice Goal impact associated with this item. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: There is no Orange County Environmental Responsibility Goal impact associated with this item. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve a refund for$1,030 to the Love Law Firm. 2 LOVE LAw FiRm 1415 W NC Highway 54 Ste 112 Robert M Love 919-403-9545 Durham NC 27707-5597 919-403-9546 fax Via Email 9/27/2022 To: Orange County Board of County Commissioners From: Robert M Love Re: Incorrect Revenue Stamps on Deed Recorded in Book 6794,Page 1169 To Whom It May Concern: On 9/07/2022 my office recorded the referenced deed in the Orange County Register of Deeds.
