ACTORS TRY To
DODGE TAX

BERLIN, March 25 QN.SJ.-
Fritz Kortner and Curt Goetz, two
well.known German actors, have
converted themselves into stock
companies.
They are the only stock holders
and officers OF their companies,
from whose earnings they allow
themselves a living wage.
They have taken to this unique
expedient in order to escape part
Of the prohibitive German income
tax.
Under German law, they would
have to pay up to so per cent Of
their personal income to the state
as tax. BY Incorporating them
selves, they pay the regular, per.
sonal income tax only on what
money they actually spend. The
rest, technically representing earn
ines Of the company, is subject
only to corporation tax.
This corporation tax still amounts
to 20 per cent in Germany.
Curt Goetx, therefore, incorpor.
ated his company IN Switzerland,
where corporation tax is almost
nonexistent.
The net result of this procedure
Is that while they have to pay the
regular. personal income tax on
what they actually need for living
they do save large part Of the
income tax on their savings.
