Act No. 2833 Section 3

Section 3

SEC. 3. For the purpose of the additional tax, the taxable income of any individual shall include the share to which he would be entitled of the gains and profits, if divided or distributed, whether divided or distributed or not, of all corporations, joint-stock companies, partnerships, joint-accounts (cuentas en participation), associations or insurance companies, however created or organized, when such gains or profits have been fraudulently accumulated or retained for the purpose of evading the payment of the additional tax upon them; and the fact that any such corporation, joint-stock company, partnership, joint-account (cuentas en participacion), association, or insurance company, is a mere holding company, or that the gains and profits are permitted to accumulate beyond the reasonable needs of the business, shall be prima facie evidence of a fraudulent purpose to escape such tax; but the fact that the gains and profits are in any case permitted to accumulate and become surplus shall not be construed as evidence of a purpose to escape the said tax in such case unless the Secretary of Finance shall certify that in his opinion such accumulation is unreasonable for the purposes of the business. When requested by the Collector of Internal Revenue such corporation, joint-stock company, partnership, joint-account (cuenta en participation), association, or insurance company shall forward to him a correct statement of such gains and profits and the names and addresses of the individuals or shareholders who would be entitled to the same if divided or distributed. INCOME EXEMPT BY LAW.
