.-BRAZIL WANTS
REDUCTION OF
INCOME TAX
RIO DE JANEIRO, Sept. 8 (by As
sociated Press).—Americans residing
in Brazil have begun, through the
American Chamber of Commerce for
Brazil, an active campaign for the
abolition or reduction of the American
income tax on citizens residing abroad.
The chamber has authorized a special
committee to engage a prominent law
yer of Washington to bring before con
gress a bill drawn up by the chamber
dealing with the subject. The moral
and financial support of all American
chambers abroad and the foreign trade
bodies in the United States is being
solicited. Americans abroad are to be
asked to urge their congressional rep
^^resentatives to make independent rep
resentations to congress.
The committee which had the matter
in charge recommends that total ex
emption be asked for, principally for
the reason that European countries
do not tax their nationals engaged in
business abroad, and that only total
exemption will place the American
on an equal footing with European
competitors in developing American
foreign trade.
The argument for exemption is
based not only on the handicap in
comparison with European competi
tors, but also on the political theory
that taxation without representation is
contrary to American ideals, the com
mittee pointing out that Americans liv
ing abroad are unable to express their
will concerning government policies,
being virtually deprived of the right
to vote.
It is also argued that Americans liv
ing abroad are involved in a greater
amount of responsibility and effort for
the good of American interests, impos
ing a greater financial burden than
would be the case at home; that while
the American at home receives prefer
ential protection for his business
through import taxation against for
eign competition, the American abroad
is subject to the customs and taxes
levied by his country of residence with
out any preferential protection.
Danger that Americans abroad may
relinquish their American citizenship
and adopt that of the country where
^ they reside rather than submit to what
they deem an excessive and unjust tax,
possibility of evading the tax and un
* fairness this creates, and hardship of
the tax on Americans of moderate
means, are other reasons advanced
why the income tax should be abol
ished.
