EYES ON TAX LAW: Serious problems are in store
for organizations, agencies and institutions depending on
tax-deducted contributions in their fund-raising cam-
paigns. The problems are a product of the new Federal tax
law. The law contains provisions which will dampen the
incentive to tax-deductible charitable giving.
The principal effect of the law may result from its tax
reduction. The maximum tax rate on ordinary income is
reduced by the new law to 50 percent. The maximum capi-
tal gain rate for individuals is reduced from 28 th 20 per-
cent. Upper bracket donors may therefore be tempted to
give less to charities in proportion to the tax reductions
they will benefit from under the new law.
There is also a very basic change in marital deductions
of estate tax. The new law allows individuals to
leave everything to a spouse completely tax-free. Under the
current law, a person could leave $250,000 or 50 percent of
the estate — whichever is greater — to a spouse tax-free.
This had led some donors to use some or all the rest of their
money for contributions to charitable causes. Bequests
benefited especially from this arrangement.
CJF EVALUATION: The effect of the new tax law
will be broadly discussed by the Council of Jewish Federa-
•tions at its quarterly four-day board meeting opening in
New York Sept. - 17.
The change in the estate law is being interpreted by
specialists interested in planning private giving as follows:
Until now, a potential donor might have decided whether to
give to his favorite charity or to Uncle Sam, but next year
the choice will be whether to give to a favorite charity or to
a spouse.
Holocaust Memorial Proposal
Draws Criticism from Turks
LONDON — The possible
allocation of space at the
Holocaust Memorial in
Washington to Armenians
wishing to commemorate
the "Turkish genocide"
against their people during
World War I has angered
members of the Turkish
press, according to the Lon-
don Jewish Chronicle.
In a-firont-page story, the
Turkish daily Gunyadin
quoted a Turkish Foreign
Ministry official as saying,
"Turkey is among the coun-
tries that have treated the
Jews well throughout his-
tory . . . If the Jews now
cooperate with the Arme-
nians, they will not only
change history, but will also
be showing great•: in-
gratitude towards Turkey."
Another paper, Ter-
cuman, expressed a simi-
lar view in an editorial.
"We now live in friend-
ship with the Jews.
Therefore we expect
them to raise their voice
in opposition to the allo-
cation of space for. the
Armenians at the
Holocaust Memorial."
Both newspapers claim
that the Holocaust Memo-
rial Council and other
Jewish communal leaders
seem to be ready to comply
with the Armenian request..
The President's 'Holocaust
Commission, which will
oversee the creation of the
memorial, has not made a
decision on whether tO in-
clude the Armenians in-the
project.
