COURT DECISION
| GIVES RELIEF
ON TAXES

What appears to be the first court
ecision giving relief to owners OF
real estate and dealers in real estate
n accordance with changes incor-
porated in the Federal revenue act
pf 1928 has been made by the board
kof tax appeals in the case Of the
Grand River Avenue Development
company VS.. Commissioner Of Inter
hal Revenue.
The decision is on a. case involving
AOuble taxation where a taxpayer in
Reporting income from sales OF real
ESTATE. changes from an accrual to
IN instalIment basis.
The action of the board of tax ap-
peals was based on a retroactive sec
Ation Incorporated in the revenue act
of 1928 in response to contention
pc the National Association of Real
Estate Boards. The decision applies
this retroactive section and relieves
ethe taxpayer OF the double payments
eontended for by the commissioner.
In saseries of briefs addressed to
ahe Treasur. Department and to the
Joint committee on internal revenue
taxation and later in hearings held
hn the committees of Congress at
The time OF drafting the 1923 reve.
II ne act, the National Association Or
zeal Estate Boards pointed out that
q taxpayer should not be Obliged to
return in any taxable year any In
stallment payments which he had
returned and on which he had paid
the tax in some year prior to the
change of his method of accounting.
Double Taxation
The retroactive provision, intro
duced into the revenue act Of 1928
20 rectify such a possibility o.
double taxation, provides that if
any taxpayer. Dy an original return
made prior to February rs. 1926,
changed the method OF reporting
his net income for the taxable year
1924 or any prior year to the in
stalIment basis, then no deficiency
OF tax shall be determined with re-.
sDect 20 any such taxes unless the.
taxpayer has underpaid his taxes
for such year computed by exclud-
ing amounts received during such
wear on account OF sales made in
any year prior to the year in re-
spect of which the change was
made.

The average home owner builds
or buys a home as not only place
OF abode but ais an investment. He
seeks to save for himself the rent
he has been paying his landlord.
He hopes that IL he ever decides to
dispose of his property he will be
able to do so at least the price 1t

will have saved something on the
rental bill.
Repairs Costly

1916 under land contracts on liberal
terms as to time of payment, AMI
reported all profits therefrom in
that year on the con1pleted-contract
basis. ana paid the tax. Thereafter
beginning with 1917, the taxpayer
adopted the installment basis Tor
reporting its income.
Increased Income
On the audit Of its returns the
commissioner increased the metz in
come on account of profit realized
in the years 1923 and 1925 from
the contracts which were made in
1916, and on which the entire in
come had been reported and the
tax paid. The commissioners as
sessed additional tax on this DC
count In the amount of some $4,000
for the year 1928 and the amount
of some So, 500 for the year 1925.
The commissioner moved that the
taxpayers petition before the board
of tax appeals be dismissed on the
ground that the petition did not
entitle the taxpayer to relief.
The board held that it was I'M.
necessary for it to decide whether
the reasons advanced by the COM
missioner were good or not because
in the meantime the Revenue Act.
OF 1928 had been enacted which
contained section 705. the retro
active section on instaIIment sales:
and in view of this provision the
motion Of the commissioner to dis
miss the petition was denied.
