The Exemption For Dependents

In order to clear away misunder
standings as to what constitutes de-
tendency, in connection with the addl-
tional exemption granted Income Tax
PAYERS, Collector of Internal Revenue,
District of Vermont, gives out the fol-
lowing statement:
For 1919 taxpayer may be allowed
credit of $500 for each person for
whom he is the chief support. But it
must be remembered that he can claim
this additional exemption only with
respect to children seventeen years of
age or younger and persons mentally
defective, cripples, and persons old
enough to be without question physi
cally incapacitated for self support"
"If the taxpayer contributes to the
support of some relative or other per
son who is over seventeen years of age,
in fair health, and still active, he can
not be allowed the additional 5000
even if he is furnishing the chief sup
port.
"The very different requirements OF
the two exemptions ("Head of fam
lily" additional $1,000; dependent" adj
ditional 5000 must not be confused
To be the head of a family" the per-
son whom he supports must be a
close relative, must live with him,
and he must be such relatives sole
support To be entitled to exemption
for dependent" the person whom he
supports does not have to be a rela-
-. - oh,11
pie or defective; the field or incapa-
citated adult may live anywhere; and
it is necessary that he furnish only
more than half of the support.
The chief difference is that for head
of family" the restriction is to close
relatives, the evident object of which
is to promote the home, for deepen
dent" the restriction is to children un-
der eighteen years of age or persons
mentally or physically defective, the
object of which is to recognize mater
ial assistance given to those who can
not help themselves.
A son who has left home, but who
still sends to his mother more than half
of her support with enough regularity
that she may depend upon it, can be
allowed the additional 5000; provided,
however, that the mother has become
sufficiently aged to be without doubt
physically incapacitated for self sup
port. Otherwise, the amount contrib
uted must be considered as a gift, not
deductible as an expense and not en-
titling him to the additional exemption
regardless Of amount.
A father may claim the exemption
for every child under eighteen years of
age. But if one of his children receives.
from some estate or otherwise, sufi-
cient distributed income to provide for
the expense of his support in the sta
ton of life in which he is placed, the
father cannot claim the exemption with
respect to that child, for, although the
child is legally dependent upon him he
is in fact financially independent"

Collector

Are Prices Too High?

The public is recovering from a
Spending drunk" which started with
the armistice, J. G. Levy, member of
large New York clothing Cencern,
declared before Gov. Smiths Garment
Industry Board investigating the dis
pute between employers and EN-
ployes.
"Now," he continued, they refuse to
buy expensive goods or goods at prices
they believe too high"
The high tide of profit ran for a
year after Armistice Day, Mr. Levy
added and more money was made then
than during any other similar period
He expressed the belief that garment
prices cannot be raised as they are too
high now, and that an increase in
prices would cause retailers to. cut
their orders in half
This is good news indeed to the con-
sumner. Straws which show how the
wind blows have been indicating a
different direction If the blame for
high prices has been with the buyer
let us hope the recovery will be swift
and permanent.
