Small Business Tax
Returns 10 Be Audited
ToRaiseD. T.. Revenue

Tax Assessor Edward A. Dent has
ordered an audit of all unincor-
porated business tax returns for the
fiscal year 1948, because the levy
has yielded only one-third the
81 500 900 return expected.
This situation came to light when
Mr.. Dent revealed yesterday that
total returns as of the end of May
last complete figure available-Was
only s445,000
In computing their taxes, unin-
corporated businessmen are allowed
to deduct a reasonable" salary for
themselves, Mr.. Dent explained But
present law does not prescribe a
definite percentage that may be paid
in salary under the reasonable
definition. The Assessor said he
believes many businessmen have
listed incorrectly the entire net
taxable amount under the heading
of salary, rather than as profit.
To Disallow Some Salaries.
Thus. they save money by paying
for these sums under the approx
innate 3 per cent income tax instead
of the unincorporated business tax
of about per cent, Mr.. Dent said.
AS a remedial measure, Mr.. Dent
declared, the District will disallow
as excessive some salaries as quoted
IN certain returns. A great num-
Der of the 1886 returns filed thus
far may fall in this category, he
explained.
We expect to pick up consid-
cradle amount of taxes through the
audit" the tax assessor added.
Labor to Be Considered.
In computing what is a reasonable
salary for an unincorporated busi-
nessman, Mr.. Dent said, his asses
sors will take into consideration the
amount of labor performed by the
owner in carrying on his business.
Those whose salaries are ruled
excessive after the audit will have
a chance to talk things over with
the assessors. Mr.. Dent said such
owners will be invited to confer
with tax officials or submit writ
ten justification for the salary they
paid themselves
A deficiency assessment bill will
be sent quickly to those unincorpo-
rated businessmen whose explana-
tions leave the assessors uncon-
vinced. Later, the businessmen may
appeal the extra assessments to the
District Board of Tax Appeals, If
they wish.
