TAX ON PRODUCE
AND STOCK DEALS
| |Covernment Expects to Clean Up
S1O0,OOO,O 900 Revenue from
|, Spectators.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S-Tentative regula-
tions for guidance Of stock and produce
exchanges and boards of trade in the ad-
ministration of war stamp taxes effective
next Saturday on all sales and transfers
were issued tonight by Internal Revenue
Commissioner Roper. The final draft will
be prepared after further conferences with
the advisory committee of exchange repre-
sentatives, which has counselled with the
commissioner on the tentative rules.
The regulations were framed with the
Intention Of preventing the escape OF tax
payment, and at the same time Of making
1t as easy as possible for brokers and ex-
changes to affix the proper revenue
stamps to sales or exchange documents
and render the required accounting. 1t is
estimated nearly $100,000,00o will be raised
from the taxes.
Every broker exchange, clearing house
and person engaged in stock transactions
is required to register with the internal
revenue collector of the district by next
Saturday. when the provision becomes
effective. Each then must keep strict
account of the amount and nature OF all
dealings and report to the collector on
the 18th of each month. Stamps may be
bought only from the collector on Tor
NAL requisition, and by comparison OF
the monthly reports with stamp purchases
It will be possible for tax officials to
ascertain whether any evasion Of the
tax is attempted. If the collector has
such a suspicion he is authorized to con-
duct an examination Of the book show
ing stock or produce transactions.
The rules for produce or merchandise
exchanges and sales for future delivery
are virtually the same as for stock ex-
changes. Under the revenue law. no tax
is imposed on cash sales of produce for
immediate or prompt delivery. but all
futures are taxable. whether originally
negotiated or transferred from one pur-
chaser to another
Commissioner Roper gave a liberal in
terpretation to the terms immediate or
prompt" by allowing 20 days from the
date of sale or agreement before the
transaction passes into the classification
Of futures.
