YOUK THE LA GRANDE EVENING OBSERVER . Obviation of Appeals In Tax Dispute Sought Now Codo of Regulations uovermnff rrocedure Set Up by Internal Revenue Bureau. WASHINGTON. AP) With (he organization of the new Hoard of Tax Appeals, which takes out side disputed cases, the Uureau of Internal ltevcnuc has set up a new code of regulations govo ruing pro- dure In the handling of cases be fore appeal is taken to the high1 tux court. This procedure Includes the creation of a new committee on review within the office of the So licitor of Internal itevenue, a body largely supplanting the old unoffi cial committees on appeal that functioned prior to enactment ol the lust revenue law. The regulations provide that In every case where a deficiency p- peurs to exist the Internal J te venue Itureau will give the laxpuyers no tice of au days so that, If he de sires, ho may file a protest, request hearing und. offer . evidence against the proposed increase. The letler of protest should eon tain l he name and address of the tux payer, name and place of business of the. corporation and the stale In which It wus Incorporated, a desig nation of the year or years Involved, u statement, of 'the amount of tux. In dispute, an ire mi zed schedule of (he bureau's findings to which ex ception has been taken and a sum mary of sttements"of the grounds Go " i upon' which the taxpayer relies In cgjmccllon with each exception lo the findings. If tho taxpayer presents no pro test within 20 days of his notifica tion. Until determination will be made and the taxpayer so notified. Tho taxpayer then, under 4hu new law. may nppeal the case tu the Uoard of Tax Appeals, take. It out of the hands of the Hurcau of in ternal Itevenue entirety and go in to the open with his argument and evidence, for the lax law provides that all hearings before the Tax Appeals Hoard must be public and a written record of tho proceedings made If the amount Involved ex ceeds $10,000. Appual to the Hoard of Appeals must be made within GO days alter the tuxpuyer bus received notice, from I he internal itevenue. com missioner that a final determina tion bus been made. Accompany ing (he nottee of a final determin ation will be u form of agreement conHeiitlug to the assessment, and if the tuxpuyer. decides to drop his content Ion, ho may execute the form and return it lo the bureau, thus closing thi case., In working out this arrangement, il Ik the hope of the Treasury lo eliminate a vasl amount of work I hut otherwisu would go to the Tax Uoard and jam Its docket. Ju oth er words, .the Treasury, Acting Secretary Winston said, hopes to reach, a settlement with every tax payer possible and serve the dou ble purpose of getting such reve nue as Is tlue Into the Treasury at Specify "Check" II J I Hwmmimf L1I T.
