Make Returns Today.

With only three days remaining in
which to file income tax returns, tax
payers are warned against delay in
forwarding their returns to Collectors
of Internal Revenue. Some taxpayers
are holding back hoping to take full
advantage of the proposed reductions,
and especially of the 20 per cent re-
duction income for the year 1923.
However, the tax on income for the
year 1928 is being collected under the
Revenue Act of 1921, which is still
in effect. and which provides heavy
penalties for failure or "willful re-
fusaP to file a return and pay, at
least, one fourth of the tax on, or
before. March Is, 1924. The Re-
venue Act Of 1924, containing this
and other proposed reductions, is now
before Congress and there is little
likelihood of its enactment prior to
the closing day of the filing period.
The proposed 25 per cent reduction
in the tax on income for the year 1923
is retroactive to January 1, 1928. En-
actnent of the pending legislation
means, in the case of taxpayers who
pay on the. instaliment plan, revision
of their accounts in the Offices of the
Collectors by crediting the accounts
with pnes fourth of, the amount of the
tax declared to be due on the return.
In those cases where the tax is paid
IA full at the time of fling the re-
turns, the rs per cent excess will be
refarded promptly without the re-
qulremeft OF filing a claim. $3.50 4. =,
