Constitution reads that “The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several states, and without regard to any census or enumeration.” This issue on income taxation had started in the early 19th century when the Corporation Excise Tax Act of 1909 was enacted.

The manufacturing company bought a timberland at a cost of $20 per acre ($49/ha) in 1903. In 1908, its value increased to $40 per acre ($99/ha). From 1909 to 1912, Mitchell Bros. Co. paid taxes according to its land value of$40 per acre ($99/ha) when it should have only been taxed on its land value of $20 per acre ($49/ha) since the Corporate Excise Tax Act was enacted only in 1909.

However, if you have an expense for something that is used partly for business and partly for personal purposes, divide the total cost between the business and personal parts.
