Important Extracts.
The following extracts from a letter
addressed to an Assessor of Internal
Revenue by the Deputy Commissioner are
of interest to Assessors and Railroad Com
panies:
Section l22 imposes a tax of five per
cent. on all dividends and profits of such
companies, carried to the account of n
fund or used for construction, as it was
found impracticable for Railroad Com
panies to state their net gains as often as
a dividend was declared. This Office has
not insisted on its being done, but requires
such statement to be made once a year.
The statement should show the net gains
and profits Over dividends declared for
the entire year, and the tax should be paid
on such profits. 1t will be observed that
the amount of profits used for eonstruc-
ton is subject to the tax of five per cent,
the same as if it were added to surplus or
contingent funds.
