The regulations also provide that the d if ference caused by the fall of prices during the year may be deducted in arrivin g at the value of stock. Secretary Houston and officials of the Internal revenue bureau were with out estimates as to the difference in revenues which may result from valu ation at “ m arket” rather than “ cost.” The belief was expressed in some quarters that the difference would ruu into many m illions o f dollars. Inter nal revenue bureau officials explained that the law permits o f a choice of basis and under present conditions “ market” reflects more accurately the state o { business conditions. To re quire inventories at a cost higher than “ market,” It was added, would be to put a tax on Investment rather than on income. Inventories of taxpayers on what ever basis taken will be subject to in vestigation, the revenue bureau an nounced, and taxpayers must satisfy the bureau of the correctness of the prices adopted.
