Amendments to the estate tax law, [so as to provide for the taxation of | all property transferred by the own- er within two years prior to his death, or to fix an age limit after which all transfers of property shall be taxable are among the recom- mendations made to the special Sen- - |ate committee investigating the In- ternal Revenue Bureau, it was an- s [nounced today by Senator Couzens, chairman Instances were cited by Senator Couzens showing that the Govern- ment lost conslderable taxes because of the difficulty in interpreting the present law, which provides for taxa- tion of transfers of property under estate tax rates when made “in con- templation of death.” Falrness Is Questioned. Pointing to cases in which the bu- ad- [ reau solicitor had overruled deci- | sions in favor of the Government by special investigators involving large sums which had been approved by a | board of re nator Couzens de- lared the committee had discussed ‘| the question “whether this system is fair to the Government and whether fair to put this tremendous re- ility on the solicitor.” mmnittee has concluded the estate tax phase of its investigation and expects soon to draw up recom- mendations for strengthening the law. A typical case laid before the com- mittee follows: Case of Mr. A.—The case involved the transfer of $2,800,000 of property and the tax involved was $358,000. Mr. A. was 72 years of age when he died. He had been sick for several years. Within the two-year period prior to his death, he transferred the :|property. The Treasury revenue agent investigated and recommended that it be taxed in that it had been made “in contemplation of death.” Motive Not Proved. On appeal to the solicitor of the bureau, the review board was re- *| versed and the solicitor held the transfer should not be taxed, because it could not be proved that it had been made in contemplation of death. The Government, thereby, lost the tax. Chairman Couzens said that Neison Hart, solicitor for the bureau, had 1 the committee the newly created Zift tax would aid in enforcement of the estate tax provisions through checking losses by gifts.
