CROWD HEARS Intangibles Levy Explained By State Tax Commis sioner Here Salem has a surprisingly large number of owners of bonds, and stocks, judging from the atten dance at Monday's luncheon of the Salem chamber of commerce. when the capacity of the audi torium was overtaxed by the crowd that gathered to hear Earl Li. Fisher of the state tax com mission discuss the new tax meas- ures affecting such property. There is no overlapping of the l excise, lntansibles and inenmo tax laws passed by the last legis lature, Mr. Fisher said. The ex cise taxes corporations, taking five per cent of their net income less any tax paid on personal property. There is a minimum of $5 for all. corporations excepting the few which are exempted. It is a tax, Mr. FJsher explained, on the privilege of doing business as a corporation. The intangibles tax takes five per cent of all interest and divi dends earned by the individual above $-00 except dividends paid in stock. This tax is In lieu -of a property tax on bonds, stocks and other values which cannot be reached by the assessor. The income tax. which will not become a law unless passed by the voters this year, ia a nersonal income tax only and exemnts the income covered by the intangibles tax. All of these taxes reduce the property tar levy, and will pro duce no additional revenue, Mr. r isner explained. Intangibles tax reports must be filed by March 1, and excise tax reports April 1.
