THE WEST VIRGINIA
CORPORATIONS ARE
D|LATORY ON TAX

West Virginia corporations are
slow IN complying with the provis-
IONS OF the corporation tax imposed
by act Of congress last summer. Ac-
cording to advices from Parkersburg
from the Offices Of Internal Revenue
Collector George E. Work, only
about 200 of the 1900 corporations
operating in West Virginia have
made the prescribed return of / per
cent over their net income Of $4,000.
Unless such return Is made prior
10 March !, 1910, each delinquent
corporation is liable to fine of from
$1,000 to $4,000 assessed by the
FEDERAL government. West Virginia
corporations having net income OF
E!ore than $4,000 must pay the ei-
else tax by M1rCh the tax being
Que on that date, in compliance with
tie corporation tux law enacted on
August 5, 1909.
ignorance Of the federal statute is
believed by Collector Work to be re-
SpOnsIbie for tL2 scarcity Of returns
among the corporations.
Section 3S of the act states that
every corporation, joint stock COM
pany or association, organized for
profit and having a capital stock
J, represented by shares, and every in
surance company, now or hereafter
organized under the laws of the
Cnlted States or Of any state or ter
ritory Of the United States, or under
the special regulation of Alaska or
the District Of Columbia shall be
subject to pay annually a special tax
equivalent to one per cent upon the
entire net income over and above
$4,000 received by it from al
sources during such year, exclusive
OF amounts received by it as divi-
dends upon stock Of other companies
me penalty provision is as follows
IF any Of the corporations, joint
stock companies or associations, OF
insurance companies aforesaid, shall
refuse or neglect to make a return
~ the time or times hereinbefOrt
specified in each year, or shall rem.
!oor false or fraudulent return
such corporation, joint stock com
pany or association, or insurance
company shall be liable to Denalty
OF not less than $1,000 and not ex
