Show GET IT STRAIGHT. Through a" uninlcnl ional error in newspaper publicity, which win more or 1mh ;eiieral over the Unit ml States, tiie public; lias been given the Impression that i. iconics from stocks are not subject to the income tax. This, it appears, is an error. II' you own a certain amount of stock in a corporation and you receive re-ceive an annual income of S or 10 per cent, or any other amount, from that stock, the income is subject to taxation provided it is paid to you in currency or by check. Hut if that dividend is paid to you in the form of additional stock in t lie corporation, then such income in the form of additional stock is not subject to income taxation. The public will feel a relief in knowing that the holders of great wealth in the form of stocks are not to escape their just proportion of taxation. The Pyramid is glad to aid in making mak-ing correction of an error into which millions of people appear to have innocently in-nocently fallen. |
