Justice Dept Brief In Tax Case Over Interest Deduction
The Department of Justice filed in the Supreme Court on behalf of Internal Revenue Collector Charles W. Anderson in the income tax suit against Forty-Two Broadway Corporation. The issue is whether interest paid by a corporation may be deducted beyond its paid up capital in computing tax under the corporation tax act. The government contends credit deductions may not exceed the capital stock value. Forty-Two Broadway has six shares of par $10, claiming interest deductions on bonded debt of $4,750 and other deductions totaling $399,516.
