A Mooresville broker is reviewing the North Carolina conveyance tax at $1 per $500. Which statement is NOT accurate under current North Carolina law?

Correct Answer

B) A fractional excess of $1 is ignored for tax purposes under current North Carolina rules

This choice is the inaccurate statement. The other three options describe the current North Carolina rule or guidance more accurately.

Answer Options

Because the statute uses 'or fractional part,' any amount over an even $500 increment rounds up to another dollar of tax.
B
A fractional excess of $1 is ignored for tax purposes under current North Carolina rules
C
North Carolina conveyance tax is imposed at $1 for each $500 or fractional part of the consideration or value conveyed.
D
The transferor is the party responsible for paying the North Carolina excise tax on conveyances unless the parties agree otherwise economically.
