, First of nil. Johes & Co. are allowed a
deduction of 7 per cent of this cnpltullza

, 'profits. In addition n stntutory deduction
ff I3000 Is allowed, making a total nllow
; ance of 110,000. These deductions are
'.vratde before the taxable profits are deter-
'mined. If In 1917, Joncx & Co. made profits
- .iit 160,000, the profits subject to luxation,
after the $10,000 deduction Is made, are
j $40,000. Upon tills latter cum five sepaiate
jand distinct levies nre made upon u grnd
, u&ted scale, as follows:
, ,' l'lrt. A tax uf 20 per rent upon Iff

Heronel. A tax of 35 per cent upon the

cent upon $3000 MJ8Q.
Third. A tax of 33 per rent upon the
dtfTerenre, between 30 per rent and 33
per rent of the 1100,000 capital, or 33
per rent upon (3000 1 1140.
Fourth, A tax of 45 per rent upon tlie
difference between 33 per rent and 33

Fifth. A I cf 00 per rcnl upon n'l

If Jones & Co. happen to have made
more during the three-year prewar prlod
thai they did In 1917, the only dlffeienco
In the computations would lie In the deduo
tlonsl allowed. Instead of being nllowed u
deduction of 7 per cent of the total equal
ization plus the statutory deduction of
(3000, Jones & Co. would be allowed a de
duction of 9 per cent of their total canttnll
zatlon plus the statutory deduction of (3000.
That Is, instead of deducting SI 0,000 from
the profits of $50,000 for 1917, they would
deduct $12,000, leaving net wur profits sub
ject to taxation of 13H.000. Instead of .$40.
000. Upon thtl $38,000 the five separate
levies would be made precisely as in the
previous example.
If, again, Jones & Co. is a concern that
was not In business before the outbreak of
the war, ncrfl again the difference of com
putation would lie only In the deductions
nllowed. In this case the deductions would
be 8 per cent of the total capitalization of
$100,000, plus the statutory deduction of
$3000, or a total deduction of $11,000. Thus
the net war profits subject to the five levies
would be $39;000, and there again the levies
would be (aid as above.
