Show THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE Britain Studies Inheritance Tax Evasion Methods three-quarte- By CHARLES P NUTTER Associated Press Foreign Staff LONDON July 13 -- The question of tax avoidance and evasion is one the British government has kept constantly under consideration as three governments since the war have radically boosted the taxation on inheritance here called ready dangerously high" this committee declared: “Apart from illegal or fraudulent evasion there is always a danger that if taxation is pressed beyond a certain point even citizens may fepl themselves justified in adopting legal methods of " avoidance See Marked Defect Agreeing that the liability of death duties to avoidance was a marked defect of this form of taxation the majority group inferen-tiall- y agree that moderation of the tax in the upper brackets of estates probably would be more effective than punitive measures contemplated against those who found means of avoiding full taxation British estates pay 40 per cent estate taxes on property in excess of 2000000 pounds in value with correspondingly stiff rates on estates worth in excess of 200000 pounds sterling British capitalists and landowners in a quarter century experience with the heavy death duties have found various ways of “setting their houses in order" to avoid the full blow of the tax falling upon their heirs This has mainly been done through gifts to heirs which escape duty if made more than three years prior to the death of the testator through incorporation and through various other methods of formation of companies for the enjoyment of an estate Complicated as is the present system of death duties some economists have favored rewriting present laws to formulate a multiple tax system whereby the government would entirely confiscate a fortune passing for the third time and to graduate the death duties with reference to the inherited share or the total wealth of the inheritor Confiscation Dan Under one of the schemes proposed by the minority group of the parliamentary committee the government would claim 40 per cent of the estate with the first transfer through death 60 per cent of the original estate at the second transfer and 100 per cent upon the third transfer Any accumulation the various legatees had been able to build up during’ their holding of the estate would be taxed ’only at the present rate of duty Thus a person originally passing on $10000000 might leave his second generation of descendants penniless or more affluent than he was depending on the heir's ability to build upon his original estate Administrative problems involved however and general opposition to any further increasing of the death duties have thus far prevented parliament from acting on this proposal despite the staggering size of the national debt and need for all taxation forms of revenue-bearin- g Ohio Will Arrest Paroled Prisoner SAN FRANCISCO July 13 UPl— Two Lake county Ohio deputy sheriffs will arrest Frank Gerlica when he
