INCOME TAX
Questions Are Answered il,
Communication Received
by the Collector.

Several West Virginia banks have
been in doubt about paying coupons
on bonds of state, county and other
political subdivisions, under the
new income tax law, unless the cou-
pons have attached certificates OF
ownership. The internal revenue or
fee is just in receipt of communi-
cation from the treasury department
saying that this is unnecessary as long
as the coupons show on the face that
they are not subject to the tax,
hence no such certificates are requir-
ed.
The collector has also been ,notiti-
ed that the banking institutions are
not required to withhold at the
source the income tax of one per cent
on interest paid or interest accrued
or aceruing to depositors, whether
on open account or on certificates OF
deposit, but such interest must be
accounted for by persons receiving
notice OF such tax reports in their
reports in case they are taxable.
