U S To Seek 77 Percent of Benny Profit
The Internal Revenue Bureau ruled Benny must pay ordinary income tax on his profit from selling his radio program to CBS. Benny owned 60 percent of Amusement Enterprises and received 1 356 000 of 1 356 000, leaving a net profit around 311 880 after taxes. CBS bought Amusement Enterprises for 2 260 000, and the ruling cites that radio artists pay income tax rates on personal services, not capital gains. Benny may appeal to tax court.
