The recent rulings and regulations are set forth in this supplement, reference being made to the pages in Holmes Income Tax where may be found statements on the same subjects. The Treasury Department has also issued a compilation of rulings on the War Excess Profits Tax, which are printed in full herein, together with notes and crossreferences by the author.

The Author's thanks are again extended to The Corporation Trust Company of New York City for the use of its valuable Income Tax Service and War Tax Service in the preparation of this new matter.
