Corporations doing business in Geor-
gia that have not given in their returns
by March / will have the chance of see
ing United States District Attorney
Carter Tate face to face and telling
him the reason for their delinquency.
The Law is that all corporations in
the state must make returns to the col
lector Of internal revenue, Henry S.
Jackson, before March /, whether they
have made any money the past year or
not. Those which have made under
$4,000 will not be taxed, and those earn
ing more than $1,000 will be taxed one
per cent of their net profits for the
year. The penalty for not having the
returns in ON time is fine of $1,000.
Last year thousands of dollars in fines
were paid in to the government when
a few hours of timely work would have
saved the money.
District Attorney Tate declares there
will be no leniency shown this year.
