June 14 - (AP) - A legal tax dodge that may save American shippers millions of dol- lars was reported yesterday. It's is method of avoiding the tnree-per-cent United States fed- eral freight tax by paying freight bills in Canada - with sanction of the Federal Bureau of Inter- nal Revenue. This applies to freight, moving into the United States. Railroad officials here said the plan already is in operation. The Seattle Times said the alt- uatton grew out of the practice of purchasing passenger tickets in Canada to avoid the l5-per-cent transportation tax levied by the Federal Government. Even though the tickets are used exclusively in the United States, the 15 per cent tax is thus avoided. The Times said a Seattle traffic expert. not named. got the ruling from the Internal Revenue Bureau, The ruling is that if shippers send their own representatives to Can- ada. or if they liavea bona fidei'c- presontatiite in Canada. the freight bills can be paid minus the tax. The Federal Bureau is reported to have turned down proposals to pay such bills by mail. or through Cati- adian banks. One railroad official. declining use of his name. said at least tiirec- or four rail lines have started the practice. They are insisting on payment in United states funds, refusing Canadian money. The Federal freight tax is one of the wartime excise taxes. shippers have been advocating its repeal. ln Wdshington, officials of the internal Revenue Bureau said that under the law there is nothing they can do about the new tax dodge.
