Do you want to make a sale

have to pay this year? Then con-
slider selling now and reporting the
profit on the installrnent basis.
You can make the sale now,
elect to report your profit on the
installment basis and pay the tax
on your profit as you collect the
installments. If you make no col
lections in 1857, then you will have
no tax to pay In other words, don't
pass up an opportunity to sell now
at a profit. Make the sale and be
sure that you collect 800 or less
this year. Then make your collec-
tions in later years and report and
pay the tax on the profit as you
collect it.
You can elect to report your
profit on an installment sale in in

than $1,000.
The total collected in 1857 cam
not exceed 309e of the total selling
price. This includes the down pay
ment and all later payments coli
lected in 1857.
If all the requirements under /
or 2 above are met, then you can
report your profit each year as
you collect it.
This is how it works.
Assume that you sold your home
in 1857. This home cost you $10,-
600 in 1910. The selling price is
SIS, 900. Your profit is $1,000. Un-
der the long term capital gains
rates you are taxed on only 500
of this profit, that is, $500.
Assume that you collect down
payment of 81 500.
Your profit on this house is
Selling price ..... 100% $4,000
Less your cost -. 1000 10000
Profit ..... 1870 5000
Then you would report as your
long term capital gain for 1857
81, 500 received; 1870 profit =
$500. This would be taxed at the
long term capital gains rate, SC
that 500, or $3.50 would be taxed
If you made no collections in 1857
nothing would be taxed.
If you use this system be sure
to pick up and report your profit
on your collections each year as
you collect them.

Moonshine
Rise Tied
Slump

ANNAPOLIS. Md. April II
OBS the current economic
recession causing an increase
in moonshining and boot
Logging?
State revenue officials believe
II may be.
They're sure OF one thing.
Trafhc In illegal whisky has
been far greater In the past
two weeks than during an,
other hali-month period In re-
cent history.
Roger v. Laynor. chief OF the
alcoholic beverages division OF
the comptroller's ONCE. thinks
there is a tie-in between the
economic downturn and the
increased work for his reve-
nuers.
Robert N. Lucke. agent In
charge OF the divisions en-
forcement unit, said "a stills
were seized during the first
is days Of April while only one
illegal distillery was knocked
of in the same two-week period
last year.
OF the IS persons arrested
in these raids, IL were unem-
ployed. Some had previous
moonshining records. Others
had old records but had been
inactive for a long while.
Mr.. Laynor and Mr.. Lucke
believe the recession may be
causing Increased traffic in
moonShine whisky in two ways.
Some unemployed persons may
be turning to production, and
the market for untaxed whisky
may be increasing among per-
sons out of work.
They are disturbed because
IL of the men arrested this
month were from ont OF State
- five from North Carolina.
four from Washington and
three from Virginia.
They fear this may indicate
the economic situation or law
enforcement nditiOns are
forcing some operators to move
closer TO their main markets
the populous Northern cities.
Mr.. Lucke said. the April
figures are starting because
Maryland is not additionally
a whiskey making State.
/ He added that nearly all the
stills seized this month were
new stills which had not been
in operation long.
So far this year State agents
have seized "a stills which pro-
duced an estimated $4,000
gallons OF moonshine before
seizure. This amount Of whisky.
II legally manufactured and
sold in Maryland. would have
brought the manufacturers
about 100000 and meant
