INCOME TAX
RULES FULLY
EXPOUNDED

Washington, Feb. 13.--After weeks Of
study Of the complexities of the in
come tax law treasury officials have
issued ntnety-page booklet, christen-
ed it Regulations No. 33 and sent 1t
forth to collectors of internal revenue
in the expectation that it will clear up
many of the misunderstanding con-
corning the law which have arisen
throughout the country.
It takes twenty-tnree pages Of the
book to set forth the law itself, but
sixty pages are used in telling how the
net income to be taxed Is ascertained
by the taxpayer, when and where the
tax must be paid, what penalties will
be imposed for nonpayment, what ex-
emptions and deductions will be al
lowed
Many pages are devoted to an ex-
planation of that part Of the law i'm
posing / per cent tax on the income
of all corporations, which replaces the
old corporation tax.
Although officials are confident that
this booklet will prove a guide to tax
payers which will settle many appar-
emily difficult problems, there viii be
other regulations in the future when
new, points M are raised. The book does
hot h,9 contain new set Of regulations,
OF the ones already issued, with expla-
nations of points not discussed before.
Partnerships Exempt.
Under the law partnerships are not
subject to the tax, but the regulations
provide that annual profits from q part
nershfp paid to members shall be In
cluded in their returns and where such
profits are undistributed and unpaid
they must be ascertained and included
In the individuals return for taxation
just the same. ,zs.
1t is made clear for the first time
that persons who have net income cf
less than $4,000, all derived from In
vestments and upon which the tax has
been withheld at the source, shall not
be required to make any RETURN Ex-
ecutors and administrators or estates OF
persons are required to pay the tax on
the net income for the part. of the year
in which the deceased was alive.
400 Per Cent Penalty.
Where persons taxable refuse to.
make the proper list or return or make
false return, the regulations provide
that the proper collector of internal
revenue shall, after due notice make
the return for such person, and the
tax shall be assessed on this return
with so or 100 per cent penalty add
ed Returns must be verified by oath
or affirmation. Returns shall be sent
by collectors to the commissioner Of
internal revenue in Washington BY
registered mail. Returns shall be made
to collectors before March every
year.
