Holland Review of Problems Raised by the Income Tax Law
New York Nov 13 The lawyers retained by corporations discuss uncertainties in the income tax law due to changing interpretations from Washington and unclear Treasury regulations. They advise cautious tax reporting and writing off fixed capital as safer, and doubt protests against collection will succeed. They see potential tax rate increases and anticipate broad but not universal compliance, with the tax likely lasting beyond emergencies. The article compares British policy under Gladstone and Roosevelt era views on revenue, and notes opinions of New York jurists and Gov Hughes on constitutional limits and future increases.
