BY ROBERT MACK. Pears that a tax might be levied on raclo receivers now in use to help | Uncle Sam regain his fiscal financial equilibrium were dispelled with the recommendations of Secretary of the Treasury Mellon to Congress for a new tax structure | Radio is expected to contribute a por- tion of the new revenue, but not in that manner. A flat tax of 5 per cent on radio receivers, tubes and other acces- | sories, theoretically to be footed by the | | manufacturer, but actually to be paid by the consumer, is Tecommended by | the Treasury to Congress. There will | be a strenuous battle against the tax, however, on the ground that radio no longer can be classified as a luxury, or | even a semi-luxury, but that it now is an integral part of the modern living standard. ] Many Feared Tax. | Soclety,” by It is no secret that many radio lis- teners have feared an annual radio set tax, like that levied in foreign countries the cost of radio administra- 1s was evidenced as far back | | as April, 1930, when the decennial pop- | | ulation census was taken. At that time | | census enumerators asked at every door | whether a radlo set was owned, simply | for the purpose of determining how | | many radios actually were in use and | | the size of the radio audience. Many people, however, thought it was simply & check-up by the Government for tax | assessment purposes How much the Government expects lofrom & 5 per cent “manufacturers’ sales tax” on radio and phonograph equip | ment and accessories has not been di- vulged by the Treasury. Practically it would mean that a $100 set would cost $105, because the manufacturer wouM not absorb that $5 tax himself The fact that the recommendation for a tax is made, however, does not | mean that a tax will be levied. There will be hearings before congressional | committees with respect to the general | proposal that the so-called luxury taxes which were imposed under the 1924 s excise provisions be restored, and there will be opposition from every quarter. | The Radio Manufacturers' Association and the National Association of Broad- casters already have resolved in formal resolutions to resist any such efforts. Revenue Would Be $15,000,000. The radio industry estimates that some 3,000,000 new sets will be soid this year. With the average price per set placed at $100, because of the large | number of low-priced midgets on the | market, the revenue would be approxi- mately’ $15,000,000 for this item alone | on a 5 per cent tax. Tube sales and other apparatus, both tran: mitting and recetving, would swell that figure per- haps to about $50,000,000. The Treasury estimates a deficit for the fiscal year 1932, now current, of $2,122,683,865. Secretary Mellon said he hoped to realize $205,000,000 from the miscellaneous tax proposals for the six-month period from January through June, 1932, The increase for the fiscal | year 1933 he estimated at $514,000,000. | But many other items, like amusement taxes, taxes on checks and bank drafts, stock transactions and all toll commu- nications would be called upon, along | ‘mr radio, to make up this emergency jack-pot.
