offered by the average Crook play and with
music of the bubbing French school of spirited

What Net Income Is

Does the first computation of the
excess profits tax law as applied to a
capital of $500, 900 and net income Of
100000 result in $4,000 or $4,000?
The principle Is the same applied to
any capital and net income.
IT is a fact that s27, 900 must he OBJ
tanned but by following the text of the
law $50, 400 Is the result. To obtain
$4,000 the text of the law should
read "aR amount" where 1t reads met
income"
Deduction ............... 100000
NET income" in excess -. $1b2, 900
According to the text Of the law 20
per cent of this met income" in excess
OF deduction (s152,00O) Is $50 400,
and as this is not in excess of {75, 900,
which is l 3 per cent Of the capital, IL
is the amount obtained according to
the text OF the law and completes the
computation.
According to the sense Of the law 20
per cent of ian amount" in excess of
deduction (S4S, ,000) and not in excess
OF 15 per cent of the capital (s75,O00)
is $4,000, the correct amount. The
other four computations make the to-
tai tax $59,400.
For confirmation of the above I re-
fer to the formula submitted by Rep
resentative Fcrdney, of Michigan,
member of the ways and means COM
mittee and member of the war tax
conference committee.
Accountants attorneys, bookkeep-
ers and business men have made the
most ridiculous estimates Of cxcess-
profit taxes owing to the misleading
words met income" in the text of the
lay instead of the words IAN amount e
which should have been used.
