a. The amount of sales and use tax revenue allocated under N.C. Gen. Stat. § 105-486 This calculation determines the effect of repealing a one-half percent (1/2%) sales and use tax distributed on a per capita basis.
b. An amount determined by subtracting twenty-five percent (25%) of the amount of sales and use tax revenue allocated under N.C. Gen. Stat. § 105-472 or Chapter 1096 of the 1967 Session Laws from fifty percent (50%) of the amount of sales and use tax revenue allocated under N.C. Gen. Stat. § 105-486 This calculation determines the effect of distributing a one-quarter percent (.25%) tax on the basis of point of origin instead of on a per capita basis.
