of inquiries regarding various pro
visions. The revenue act of 1021
became effective November 21. 19-M,
unless otherwife provided for.
"To avoid error in the prepara
tion of their returna and later dif
ficulties with the bureau of internal

note carefully the changes and when
they become effective. .

spcratc to increase the tax which
would be payable if the exemption
A-ere $2,500 by more than the amount
f the net income in excess of $5,000
This is to overcome the. disparity
n the case of two taxpayers, one
if whom is just within the lower

vithin the higher $2,500 exemption.
"Single persons, and married per
sons not livincr with . husband or

axed in the same manner as other
corporations.
Corporation Tax Raised.
"The income lax on Corporations
'or the calendar year, 1922, and
:hereafter, is increased from 10 to
2y3 per cent. The $2,000 exemp
ion heretofore allowed corporations
is to be granted only to those cor
porations whose net income is $25,
000 or less. . ' ;
"Many persons are under the im
pression that the taxes on ice cream,
