Tax on Short Sales Retroactives

News reached the financial district
yesterday after the close of the stock
market that the United States Attorney
General had ruled that his recent de-
cision taxing short sales was retro
active In other words, the levy of 81
for every 100 shares borrowed and
loaned must be paid on transactions
since December !, when the war rev.
enue act became effective. In addition
to the increased amount of clerical
work The Attorney Generals nterpre-
tation of the law would involve, even
though he did not mean the tax to be
retroactive, brokers now face the added
pressure Of having to go back over
their books for the last four months.
Many perplexing problems will arise
in efforts to force the payment of the
impost. One of the many cases will be
where a trader has closed his account.
Can he be made to pay the tax? This
question may necessitate another rul-
ing from the Attorney General.
