Excerpt from War Revenue and Federal Income Tax Laws, Vol. 1 The War Income Tax is an addition to the existing Income Tax. Its rates do not supersede, but supple ment, the existing income tax rates. The taxable per son therefore must take account both of the war income tax rates and of the regular rates of the Income Tax Law of September 8, 1916, as amended. To do this conveniently, readers are referred to Part II of this book, where the provisions of both Acts are presented together. The War Profits Tax, on the other hand, super sedes completely the Excess Profits Tax approved March 3, 1917; and to determine his liability to the War Profits Tax, the taxable person need consider only the provisions of Title II of the War Revenue Act.

Excerpt from War Revenue and Federal Income Tax Laws, Vol. 1 The purpose of the National Bank of Commerce in New York in preparing this book is to provide for its friends and customers, in as usable a form as possible, an authoritative text of the Federal Revenue laws which most vitally concern the business and banking world. These law's are contained in the War Revenue Act, approved October 3, 1917, and in the newly amended Income Tax Law of September 8, 1916. The bank has therefore combined the two laws in this book, in a form which will enable the reader readily to determine his taxable status from an authoritative source. Part I of the book contains the War Revenue Act, as approved by the President on October 3, 1917. The importance of this Act to the commercial and financial world can hardly be over-emphasized. Drawn for the purpose of providing funds for the prosecution of the War, it is calculated to raise for 1917, in addition to ordinary revenues, about $2,600,000,000. Consideration of the Act by Congress has been long. As it now stands, the measure is a compromise of the views of numerous factions and interests-between those who advocate the "pay as you go" policy and those who favor reliance on bond issues as a policy of war finances - between those who demand the "conscription of wealth" and those who are alarmed at the danger of "frightening capital." Of the taxes imposed by the War Revenue Act, by far the most important are the War Income Tax and the War Profits Tax, which are calculated to raise, respectively, about $842,000,000 and $1,060,000,000.

Excerpt from Prentice-Hall Tax Service for 1919 This allowance is not based upon the difference between the actual war cost of such facilities and what they would have cost at pre-war prices. Obviously the taxpayer is not entitled to recover or extinguish through amortization more than the difference between the war cost of such property and what he can sell the property for after the war, or if he continues to need and use it in his business, what it would have cost him after the war. As the rule is expressed in Article 183 of the Regulations: The total amount to be extinguished by amortization, in general, is the excess of the unextinguished or unrecovered cost of the property over its maximum value (either for sale or for use as part of the plant or equipment of a going business) under stable post war.
