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

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

Uoard and jam Its docket. Ju oth

Secretary Winston said, hopes to

(hat tho average taxpayer was con
