Of the present trouble. Tho Internal

cases these methods were employed
With the tntcntion of reducing the tax
liability of the taxpayer.
In some cases it is said that the
bureau has found that Inventories have
been taken on tho basis Of an average
cost instead OF on the actual value
All OF these methods, which have
the effect Of reducing tax liability, are
contrary to tho regulations OF the bu-
rsau and arc illustrative. it is said OF
numerous irregularities which have
been found.
In cases of voluntary disclosures be-
fore an investigation is made the policy
Of the bureau az il has been announced
will be, TO forego penalties except
where there is Intentional evasion OF

methods in filing tax returns to correc
