TAX DEPARTMENT SENDING FORMS,
 INFORMATION N

One large room in the Territorial Tax Commissioner's office in the Simpson Building has the aspect of 5n assembly line these days. Young women are addressing envelopes, 'olding forms and enclosures, and stuffing and sealing the envelopes for mailing.
 Tax Commissioner M. P. Mullaney $ sending out forms for licenses )f all kinds and for the filing of income and property tax returns.
 The 1949 Territorial Legislature treated a number of new Alaska axes, among them the net income, property and tobacco taxes.
 Anticipating the later action of he 8lst Congress in repeating the Federal Mercantile Tax Act as it applies to Alaska, the Legislature lrovided for a business license tax which automatically becomes effec- i've January l.
 Therefore, all business licenses ,eretofore issued by the Clerks Of District Courts, except liquor h- nses, now must be obtained from the Department of Taxation.
 With the property tax forms now being mailed, Mullaney is enclosing sheet of general information about Territorial taxes. These state brief requirements for income school, tobacco, property taxes and for special licenses in fishing and mining industries, as well as mis- cellaneous licenses not covered in the business license tax measure.
 Pamphlets explaining withholding provisions of the Alaska Net In come Tax Act, now effective for l949, are available at the Commis- sioner's office.
 Commissioner Mullaney also is taking applications for qualified personnel to serve as field exami- ners and to staff the divisional offices in Anchorages, Fairbanks and Nome Application forms may .e obtained at his office.
