PROFITS
TO Be DEDUCTED
FROM INCOME TAX
Losses of Gamblers, Illicit Dis

Charged Off by Order of
Revenue Bureau.

WASHINGTON, March lO.-Business
losses Of gamblers, m~oonshiners, boot
leggers and other participants in illegal
practices are deductable from gross in
come In determining net income sub
ject to tax. The internal revenue bu-
reau decided the question today, IN
passing upon inquiries Of professional
gamblers In New York, Chicago, Boston
and other cities and from a lone query
OF a Southern ex-moOnshiner.
The bureaus attitude is that income
even FROM an illegal business is taxable
and that losses in connection with this
business are deductable, but not to an
extent exceeding earnings from the
business. Tax collectors, according to
this attitude, are concerned with col
Letting revenue, and not prosecuting IL
legal businesses. Consequently they
viii regard as confidential any disClos-
ures of illegal source Of income.
This inquiry came from a Southern
state.
