British Exempt from Income
Tax on Horse Race Winnings
LONDON, Apr. 17.—Winnings from
bets on horse races, if the winner is
not a professional bookmaker and
places his bets at starting prices
only, are not subject to the British
income tax, the King’s Bench Divi
i sion of the law court ruled in a re
cent case.
The income tax commissioners had
sought in the case to recover a tax
on $1,500 from a man whose liveli
hood was alleged to depend upon
his winnings from bets, apart from
■I a certain amount of interest on his
bank deposit. The defendant denied
that he was a professional bettor,
although he admitted he lived large
