constitution amendment authorizing ar
estate tax became effective.


estate tax became effective.
Maryland's Retroactive Clause.
The nearby State OF Maryland also
mas q retroactive clause, but its pro-
visions only apply to the Maryland
estate OF all decedents dying after Sep
tember 30, 1928"
There are certain limitations and
restrictions which would apply to
credits and refunds. The Bureau Of
Internal Revenue can give credit TO a
State only for estate tax paid within
three years after the filing of the re-
turn. II refund is desired the claim
must be filed within three years after
payment of the tax sought to be re-
funded.
Taking into consideration, however.
all the various restrictions, rules and
regulations which are necessarily placed
about the functioning of any Govern
ment tax procedure, 1t becomes plain
That there are thousands of dollars in
the Federal Treasury, paid In by es-
tates In the District of Columbia. to
which the 80 per cent credit pro-
vision could be forced to apply through
retroactive provision In the new Dis
trict estate tax bill.
Estimating What ID. C. Would Gain.
According to the latest records avail
able, for instance, the total Federal es-
tate tax due by estates in this city
into the Federal Government during
the calendar year 1880 was 1891 ,496.
OF this, however. $17,249 was credited
to other States, because OF inheritance
taxes levied by those States upon the
property in those States of the per-
sons dying in this city. In other words,
only a small percentage, 1.76. was
credited to other States. As the Fed
eral Government allows a maximum of
30 per cent credit against its tax. it
will thus be seen that retroactive
tax provision would attach possible
remaining 1924 per cent of the total
1881 ,496 Federal tax here in 1880, or
about s767,00
The Importance of this possible"
credit-refund to the District from this
one year is seen when compared with
the estimate of the Bureau of Eff
cheney and the House Committee that
the new bill itself in the future would
bring in total of about $750,000 an
nually to the District. In other words,
there Is possibility of collecting from
the past few years a large sum other
