A pre-election tax reprieve?
(0)from a NYTimes editorial:
To avoid looking like Scrooge, the Internal Revenue Service typically lets up around the holidays in its hounding of tax delinquents.
But this month, the indulgence began even before Macys was decorated. The Timess David Cay Johnston reported yesterday that on Oct. 10, the I.R.S. commissioner Mark Everson told his troops to delay tax enforcement in areas affected by Hurricane Katrina until after the midterm elections and the holiday season.
Until after the elections?
To explain his action, Mr. Everson said that a pre-election reprieve was as routine as the Christmastime hiatus. Four former I.R.S. commissioners interviewed by Mr. Johnston disputed that.
