American Nat. Realty Co. v. Commissioner

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
American Nat. Realty Co. v. Commissioner, 136 F.2d 486 (5th Cir. 1943)
31 A.F.T.R. (P-H) 189; 1943 U.S. App. LEXIS 3075

American Nat. Realty Co. v. Commissioner

Opinion of the Court

WALLER, Circuit Judge.

Petitioner insists that depreciation, taken in years in which its business was operated at a loss should not be deducted from the acquisition costs of property so depreciated in computing its capital gain on a sale of the property.

The contrary conclusion was reached by the Supreme Court in Virginian Hotel Corporation v. Helvering, Commissioner of Internal Revenue, 63 S.Ct. 1260, 87 L.Ed. -, decided June 7, 1943.

The decision of the Board of Tax Appeals is, therefore, affirmed.
