' WW&m&gBSm | VOLUME SEVENTEEN .,TijE INCOVIE TAX t , MAN IS HERE ■■' *:* —. IS AT COURT HOUSE* AND FULL OF INFORATION REGARDING LAW. Mr. H. P. Andrews, of Atlanta, ar rive din the city Tuesday and is sta tioned at the court hoilse for the pur pose of assisting the people of Dooly subject to taxation under the Income Tax Law, in making proper returns, and giving such information as is need t0relative to the law. Under the law every unmarried* person who has a net income of $1,000 or more and every married person who has a net income of $2)000 or more in, 1917 must make a report by March 1,1918. Mr. Andrews is prepared to furnish forms to be filled out with the infor mation desired. These may be re turned to him or sent to District Col lector, A. O. Blalock, of Atlanta. The citizens of Dooly app^r,an xious to comply with the law? many have been in doubt as to just what Would be required of them. Mr. An drews is giving courteous considera tion to the problems of all and seems desirous of doing justice to both the gojmmment and the individual. The following communication from Mr. Andrews may be of interest: The people in this county seem to be taking an interest in the incom^ tax, since my arrival here I have heard many loyal. expressions and a willingness on their part to pay this tax. I am plad the people in this sec tion of the country feel this way about the income tax, and it is right that they should, for it is one of the most just taxes ever levied upon the peo ple of this country, it places the bur den on the man who is able to shoul der the same, and does not work a hardship onanyone. "I am |l$re to give assistance to anyijlji. who' desires the same free of *■"' R Ind through your paper I want tw—rge all who have any doubt what ever, as to whether they will be liable, or not, for income tax, to call to see me while I am here. Sfl&e of the most common ques tions that have been asked are as fol lows: Some have asked if a married man would have to have a gross income br a net income of $2,000 to be liable under the Income Tax Law. The an swer is the net income must be two thousand dollars, the gross Income is not the basis upon which the tax is computed. Another question is whether or not products on hand and not sold should be returned as income. The answer is no; the value of cotton, grain, and ither products on tit) far$i is not con- ildered taxable income until reduced to cash or equivalent to cash. Is a farmer required to report the Value of the farm produce which is consumed by himself and family! No, but any amount of expenses incurred in producing garden .truck or sther products so consumed, cannot ie claimed as an expense as this VIENNA. QA., THURSDAY. February 21st 1918.
