ARTICLE Y.

ARTICLE ".
pointed out in the previous article
that net income results from deduct
ing certain items from gross income.
We are now ready to consider the
question:
what Are Dedpctipns.
Let me illustrate the nature Of de-
ductions from gross income. Jones
pays a monthly rent Of 800: so does
Brown. Jones may not deduct his
rent payment from his gross income
but Brown may. Does the govern
ment discriminate against the jon-ses
and in favor of the Browns? No. not
at all. Jones' rent is for his apart
ment: It is personal expense:
Browns payment is for the rent OF
the store in which he conducts trad
ing business: his disbursement con-
stitutes business expense.
The law permits the deduction OF
business expenses. but not OF private
or personal expenses. The distinction
is sometimes very clear. as in the
case OF the rent illustrations some
times IL is not so clear.
Csrfares Spent In Business Trips.
For example. business man who
spends carfares in visiting his Gus
toners may deduct such expenses
from his gross income; but Jones, who
spends carfare in riding from his
nome 70 MS pldCe OF eIItDioS uSHt d'u
back again. may not deduct the .N-
pense. The distinction is not a fogi-
cal one. but it exists IN the law and
the taxpayer must r" f,'ntiar with i
The law refers to allowable deduc-
tions as "a the ordinary and neces-
sary expenses paid" in connection
with carrying on any trade or bust
ness. Among such items are the
amounts paid by an employer in
wages to his employees. but il does
not include the wages paid to house
H-.vant. But il such wages are paid
by a physician or dentist. al. or
such part as may be applied to the
business of the doctor or dentist. may
be deducted. In the same way.
cannot deduct the expenses which
pay to the housekeeper who looks
after my apartment. but If ! made
the payment to a building superin-
tendent or to janitor WHO took care
of an apartment house which I rented
out to others. then the payment would
be deductible by me.
Business Rental Deductable.
As We saw before. the rent paid for
business property is deGuctihle. So
