Excerpt from Standard Income Tax Manual, 1920: Covering the Income Tax and Excess Profits Tax Under the Revenue Act of 1918 With References to Former Acts This volume has been designed primarily as a Manual, a handbook. It aspires to be neither a treatise nor a digest in the technical sense, although it has forsaken consistency at tunes in order better to approximate its object of service. It aims to put before the layman and the learned alike, in the most readily accessible form, first, the income and profits tax law and regulations as they exist today, and, second, suggestions and references which may help to a fuller or better interpretation of the law. At the same time, the earlier statutes and rulings are made available for examina tion and comparison. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
