TAX BOARD IS
HA|NPERED BY
|NACCURACY
Chairman of Appeals Asks
Payers to Be Sure Of
Their Facts

Confronted with numerous an.
peals which do not comply with the
rules, the board Of tax appeals,
through Chairman Charles d.
Hamel, today served notice upon
tax payers that they must clearly
and concisely set forth their facts,
In order that any question in
volved in an appeal may be brought
clearly before the board, it is neces.
sary that the rules Of practlce be
followed" Hamel said. 'The re.
quirements of the statute are such
that it is the duty of the board to
make a report in writing OF its
findings of fact and a decision In
each case. Its findings under the
act shall be prima facie evidence of
the facts therein stated in any pro.
ceedings in court. : In order that
this duty may be performed, it is
necessary that the issues be clearly
defined and that the facts unon
which the taxpayer relies are
clearly and concfsely set forth. A
number of the so.called. appeals
which have been filed with the
board are nothing more than mere
notice of an appeal without state,
ment of single fact or proposition
OF law relied upon. Others merely
set forth a conclusion to the effect
that the tax liability az determircd
by the bureau is erroneous. It is
impossible for the board to pass
upon the question involved ia such
cases unless the rules are complied
with. &a
THE files In the Internal Revenue
Bureau are not available to the
board in connection with the con.
sideration Of any case, only insofar
as they may be placed in the record
by the parties. The statute clearly
contemplates a trial before the
board and each case must be de.
cided upon the record made before
1t by the parties"
