ADDITIONAL STATE TAX
REDUCTIONS EFFECT
I'VE JANUARY l, 1929.
(By Carter Wormeley)

Richmond, Va, Dec. 1-Ad-
ditionall State tax reductions,
effective January 1, 1929, ag-
gregating more than one million
dollars, were' today explained
in a statement issued by State
Tax Commissioner C. H. Nor
risett. The statement follows:
'"The complete repeal of the
State tax on real estate and
tangiHe PERSONAL property dn
January l, 1927 saved the farm
ers and other owners of these
classes of property sum in ex-
cess of one and one-half million
dollars in 1927. This saving is
IN ANIMAL saving.
'"The administration tax re-
duction act of 1928 becomes eff
fective January 1, 1929. This
act repeats entirely the specific
property tax of fifty cents per
one hundred dollars on shares
of stock in foreign corporations
owned by residents of Virginia
as we'll as the specific property
tax of thirty-five cents per one
hundred dollars on the bonds OF
political subdivisions of Virgin
ia owned by residents of this
State. These two repeats were
estimated in 1928 to save the
taxpayers of the State the sum
of S518,000 in 1929. The ad-
ministration tax reduction act
of 1923 reduces the rate of tax
alton of capital not otherwise
taxed from eighTy-five cents
per one hundred dollars to sew
enty-five cents and also re-
duces the rate of taxation of
stock issued by banks and trust
companies and of moneyed cap
ital coming into competition
with the business of na5ional
banks, from one dollar and ten
cents per hundred dollars to one
dollar. The reduction in the cap
Ital tax rate was estimated in
1928 to save the taxpayers the
sum of S15O,000 in 1929. The re-
duction in the bank stock tax
Will save the taxpayers the sum
of 1872, 900 in 1929.
"The legislation OF 1928 also
repeats the transfer tax law as
TO the intagible personal prop
arty of nonresident decedents
wing on or after January l
1929. This repeal represents .
tax reduction of approximately
900, and will have the eff
feet of tremendously increas,
| ing investments in stocks OF
Virginia corporations. The ex-
listing stamp tax of one dollar
on the seal of a court and OF 6
notary public will be repealed
January 1, 1929, thereby caus
ing a reduction in taxes IN 1879
If approximately $4,000.
"The General Assembly OF
1928 made the following mater
ial changes in the individual IN
come tax law in favor of tbs
taxpayer, effective for the tax
able year 1929, which means
that taxpayers filing their re
turns in 1890 may take advant
