Egan Shows Federal Tax
Tally Shortchanges Alaska
JUNEAU, UP> — The State Ad
ministration is unhappy about the
way the Internal -Revenue Service
compiles tax collection satistics.
According to the Governor’s
Office, Alaska was shortchanged
28 Vi million dollars in a report
on collections made by the fed
eral tax agency.
In a roundup of nation-wide
collection figures, the IRS recently
reported Alaskans paid $47,942,000
in federal taxes.
Not so, says Gov. William Egan.
He said State Department of Rev
enue projections — based on state
tax payments — show over-all
federal taxes paid by Alaskans
“was well in excess of $76,637,
000.”
How so? Explained the Gov
ernor:
The federal agency does not
credit Alaska with tax payments
by non-resident individuals and
corporations doing -business in
Alaska while maintaining an out
of state address.
“The net effect of the Internal
Revenue Service’s calculations,”
Egan said, “is to short change
Alaska in the public eye and re
flect unfavorably on the Alaska
economy.”
