Fitchburg R. Co. v. Commissioner

*496OPINION.

Littleton:

In Appeal of Providence & Worcester Railroad Co., 5 B. T. A. 1186, the Board held that the amount of tax upon the income of the lessor and paid by the lessee, under the terms of a lease such as we have here, constituted additional taxable income to such lessor in the year in which such tax was paid by the lessee. On the authority of that decision petitioner’s tax for the fiscal period January 1 to November 30, 1919, should be recomputed by including in income the amount of $112,910.58 representing the tax upon petitioner’s income for 1918 and paid by the lessee in 1919.

The second issue is governed by the decision of the Board in Old Colony Railroad Co., 6 B. T. A. 1025. On the authority of the decision in that proceeding it is held that no portion of the premium at which bonds which were outstanding at the close of each of the taxable years involved were issued constituted income during the taxable years.

Reviewed by the Board.

Judgment will be entered on 15 days’ notice, v/rvder Rule 50.
