Golden M BLflOKS TO BE MAILED OUT Returns on Intangibles, and Personal Income, go -1 On Same Leaflet v The state Jax commission early; this . week wlft mail out apprbxi mately 65,000 blanks for returns' to be made by taxpayers under the new Intangibles and personal" Income tax laws. Each blank. will be - accompanied by : general ; In structions for the Information and guidance ot the1 taxpayer. .- ' ." ' . "While the list ot names used in mailing the blanks . has ' been complied ; ,'trom . all aTallable sources, It does not include many who are liable for the payment of either the intangibles or. personal Income tax or both." read a state ment Issued by the tax commis sion. Vln this - connection the commission calls attention that failure of - anyone ,to receire a blank ..form through' the mails does not. in any sense, relieve him r her ot liability tor making the return and paying the tax. v I "All ot those subject to either the Intangibles or personal income tax who may. not receive blanks are asked ; to communicate ' with the commission and blanks will be forwarded to them. , ' '"While the personal income tax law was approved by the people at the election last November and taxes thereunder would ordinar ily have become due and payable April 1 of this year, the date for filing returns and making - pay ments was deferred,' by order of the commission, to' June. 15, 1931. This was done for the reason that the personal Income and the new Intangibles tax law enacted by the last legislature have inter-locking provisions and the latter does not become, effective until Juno Both laws first apply to Incomes received during the calendar year 1S30. . -V' yrrT ; "The" forms prepared by the commission provide for -a single return to be made by , each tax payer, covering income taxable under either the personal Income or intangibles tax laws, or-both, as the case may be. The intangi bles tax law distinctly provides that it may be so administered in connection with the personal In come tax law. - The former applies only to net income received as Interest and dividends from in tan gibles, the latter applies to net Income of the taxpayer received from other, sources. The same in come - is therefore taxable ' only once, depending on Its' source. -Combination Return To be Convenience "This combination of the two taxes in one return will,-the com mission believes,- afford the larg est possible .convenience to tax payers and, at the same time, will reduce expense and facilitate ad ministration. :: ::;."! : "The instructions which accom pany each blank set out In detail the various kinds of Income which are covered by each tax, the de-, ductlons - and exemptions allow-' able and the rates under each law, also the , penalties provided for failure to file returns and for at tempts to evade the taxes. "It is distinctly provided that the amounts collected under the personal Income and Intangibles tax' laws, together with the amount collected under the excise tax - on ; income of corporations, shall - be applied to reduce the direct property tax for state pur poses. Such reduction will appear in the state levy of taxes for 1932 and will be reflected In property tax statements next year." . Case Dismissed Circuit court suit brought by T. S. Webb against J. W.
