First impressions Of students and

of the redecorated and revamped

Over the building were scenes
like the one in which instructor
Miss Sue Momsen searched for a

year." English Its instructor Miss
Dorothy Wilson was showing a
stage in the front of the room

The stage is for play presentation

quested by the Commissioners rela-
tive to any person subject to the
District levy.
@. What does "domiciled" In the
District mean?
A. Under decision by the Board
of Tax Appeals the present con-
struction is Cd that the person is
physically in the District; CD that
he came here as free agent; 90
that 1t is determined by all the
pertinent and surrounding facts that
the persons intention was to stay
here for an indefinite" period. A
test of this decision now is before
the Court of Appeals.
@. Supposing I am employed and
live in the District, but hold a
voting right in Maryland and pay
taxes there, am I subject to the in
come tax for income earned in the
District?
A. Yes, the District experts say,
if the assessor or higher authorities
find you are "domiciled" here.
@. Supposing I am a Government
clerk, and my salary will be sub
ject to the New York tax which
may be levied against my salary
because I maintain a voting right
there?
A. Yes, they say it is the same
point, if you are "domiciled" here.
Appeal Open on Rulings.
@. Supposing the assessor decides
my return is too small, what hap
pens?
A. The assessor may adjust the
return and levy a deficiency asses
ment. An appeal may be made to
him. and if not satisfied, you may
appeal to the District Board of Tax
Appeals. If he finds you have re-
turned too large figure, you have
two years after the payment is made
in which to file claim for a re-
fund, and if this is denied you have
the right to appeal to the Board of
Tax Appeals.
Also, for negligent failure to pay
due taxes, there is provided pen
atty of per cent of the tax bill, and

does it work?
A. Under the old law, inheritances
received by fathers, mothers, hus-
bands, wives and children by blood

Thousands Of inquiries are be-
ginning to pile up in connection
with the sweeping changes in the
Districts tax structure for the new
fiscal year, which will go into ef-
feet as soon as the measure bears
the signature of President Roose-
welt.
How will the new taxes be applied
and when, what reports must the
taxpayer make and under what
regulations-these are some of the
questions being asked. And thou
sands of persons have made out
and filed intangible personal prop
erty tax returns for the new year
and what becomes of them?
In due course, District taxing
officials will prepare formal regula-
tions and instructions in anticipation
of fixed dates for filing returns and
paying the tax collector, but the
following answers to some of the
questions are given for advance
information:
@. What new taxes are imposed?
A. A personal net income tax is
applied on all who are found to be
domiciled in the District; Congress
also adopted a corporate net in
come tax; revised inheritance taxes,
and revised utilities taxes, and fixed
SITS as the realty tax rate.
Some Levies Abandoned.
@. What levies were dropped?
A. The tax on intangibles, at IS
a thousand, was repealed, and the
business privilege tax on gross re-
ceipts. tried for two years, was al
lowed to expire July /. However,
provision was made for continuing
the authority of the District to en-
force assessments, payments and
penalties under these two levies
such as were due or accrued prior
to July l. Abandonment of these
levies for the new fiscal year does
not wipe out old charges.
@. What would an actual resident
here have to pay under the personal
income tax, having a wife and child
and making salary of $4,000 a
year?
A. The same exemptions as the
Federal plan apply. meaning there
could be deducted $2,5OO for a spouse,
and S400 for each dependent child,
which would leave S1,100 taxable
return, not counting deductions for
donations to charities, interest paid
and other deductions similar to
those allowed under the Federal levy.
The rate for the first $1,000 of tax
able income is per cent, hence on
this basis the bill would be S11. A
single person, given an exemption
OF $1,000, would pay $50
Progressive rates are provided for
taxable incomes of more than $4,000.
The rate is is per cent on the next
$4,000; 2 per cent on the next IS 900;
2.5 per cent on the next $4,000; and
3 per cent on all over $4,000.
Applied to 1899 Incomes.
Q. What is the first thing to do
about it?
A. The District will provide report
forms, blanks and regulations, but
failure to reach any person in such
service will not excuse the taxpayer.
The income taxes, both personal and
corporate, are applied to incomes
during 1899, the time for filing re-
turns and paying bills depending on
whether the income is on calendar
or a fiscal year basis.
Evening star., 1939-07-20

Most salaried persons are on a
calendar year basis. They will be re-
quired, after the close of 1899, to
make out their returns and pay the
taxes on or before next March IS.
If the income is received on fiscal
year basis (and some firms take
unusual times of the year as the
close Of the business year, the re-
ports and tax payments will be due
October IS, If the fiscal year ended
prior to the approval of the act.
assuming the President signs the
bill prior to the end of this month
In other words, the rule is that If
the persons fiscal year ended this
year prior to the date of approval OF
the act, then the payments on tax
able income received between Janu-
ary / and the end of the person S
fiscal year, must be made by the
18th day of the third month follow
ing the date of the act If the per-
sons fiscal year should end in 1889
after the approval of the act. then
his return would be due the 18th of
the third month following the close
OF his fiscal year. The next year
would catch a full years taxable
income.
The same rules as to filing and
payments apply to personal or cor
porate income.
Partnership Taxes.
@. If am engaged in the grocery
business and have partner, but not
under incorporation. how do we pay?
A. The partnership is required to
file an international return, but not
to pay tax on this return. Each
partner must make out his own per-
sonal income return, including that
portion of the taxable receipts Of
the business which belong to him,
and also any additional income each
partner may have from the District.
The corporate income, which has a
flat rate of per cent on taxable
income. would not apply, unless it is
determined that the partnership
really is an association" having
officers, directors, or certificate of
interest which is transferable, or
otherwise is found in the class of a
corporation.
@. Does a business operator have
to pay a tax on all his income from
the business?
A. No. A list of deductions is
provided, including business ex-
penses, interest. certain taxes, losses
in trade, intercompany dividends,
bad debts, depreciation, insurance
premiums and charitable contribu-
tions.
q. What about undistributed
profits in a partnership or corpora
ton?
A. Undistributed net income is
taxable, the same as if received
by the individual.
Can Check Against L. S. Returns.
@. What powers does the District
assessor have to check on returns
and compel payments
A. Plenty. it is thought by off,
Gals concerned. He may examine
books and papers, summon wit
nesses, and if the taxpayer fails to
make a proper return, the assessor
may make return from his own
investigation or knowledge. Also,
he may make double check against
the returns made by the person
to the Federal Government. The
Bureau Of Internal Revenue is "au-
thorized and required" to supply
such information as may be re-
