Hawkins, Postmaster. « j ÒenCl 1« Income Tax Deductions Allowed for Automobiles Every penny paid to the state in the form of gasoline taxes, registra tion and other special fees related to motoring may be deducted when making out federal income tax re turns, according to an announcement by "the Oregon State Motor associa tion. The one-cent federal gasoline tax, however, may not be deducted. Briefly, the A. A. A. outlined other deductions for motorists as follows: 1. Interest on money borrowed for purchase of an automobile is deducti ble. 2. If a passenger car is used wholly for business purposes, all expenses incident to maintenance including depreciation, may be deducted. 3. If used partly for business and partly for pleasure, only a propor tionate part of the maintenance and depreciation may be deducted. 4. Loss sustained by reason of damage to a passenger automobile while being used for pleasure is de ductible. It must be an actual loss to the person. If compensated for by insurance or otherwise it is not de ductible. 5. Damages paid for injury to a pe destrian are deductible, provided at the time the injury-occurred the car was being used for business. *- 6. Fines paid by a motorist are not deductible, as a fine does not consti tute an "ordinary and necessary busi ness expense.** 7. Loes sustained from the outright sale of an automobile may be de ducted in computing net incomd sub ject to the provisions of secticxi 117 of the revenue act of 1936. This does not apply to trade-ins. 9. Amount paid for insurance on automobiles used for business pur poses and also the amount of finance charges on a purchased car which covers interest and risk on the loan, may be deducted, but not the amount covering the premium oa insurance ' to protect the finance company’s in terest.
