KEEP TAB ON
LUXURY TAXES
It'll Save Money When You
Pay Income Tax

WASHINGTON. -. c.. Dec. 70
Everybody should keep account OF
the taxes he pays on ''iuxuries." BY
so doing. one may save himself
money when IL comes TO paying his
income tax TO Uncle Sam. The 30
called luxury taxes are called excise
taxes and are levied against musical
instruments. sporting goods. chewing
gum. candy and on the finer kinds
Of clothes. furniture. leather goods
and the like.
Are these luxury taxes deductible
from the income tax one pays7
No. cmphaticaiiy. MO- That they
are Is the belief In many quarters.
But they are doductible from the
amount OF income In which one pays.
Not only are these taxes dcducuble,
but all taxes paid on city. county,
state property and 20 the nation. are.
except the income tax itself and war
and excess profits taxes.
Now for the saving TO the tax
payer. II one buys n $500 piano and
he pays SIS additional as taxes. then
the purchaser has a right to deduct
this amount from the income on
which he pays.
one also has the right to deduct
the extra penny or two he pays on a
soft drink and the cent he pays on
io-ccnt show ticket from the
amount OF income on which he Is
taxed.
