Recently this column cited a case of
overpayment of income taxes by the firm
of Morgan & Co., by which the firm re-
eeived six per cent interest on the overpay-
ment to Uncle Sam for several years which
is much more money than the firm could
have earned had it invested the money in
bonds for instance. A taxpayer who over
pays taxes has three years in which to file
a claim for refund, and six per cent is the
legal rate. Since the government borrows
money at an average of little over two
per cent, loss ensues. 1t seems that some
shrewd taxpayers are deliberately over
paying their income tax which is giving
the Treasury Department new headache
The interest paid on overpayments in 1888
amounted to the appreciate sum of &c.
734.049.00. Changing the law to low in
terest rate would stop the practice which
has the suspicion of being deliberate, but
a government committed to profIigacy in
stead of economy will continue to dole out
the high interest rate until some congress
man wakes up.
