Lead Opinion
There is no dispute about the facts in this case. The question for decision is whether the petitioner received taxable income during the taxable years when it made loans from which it deducted the commission charges.
In ouiT opinion, the commissions were not actually received when the loan^ were made. The bank, upon the credit of the borrower’s note and the security given by him, paid out to him cash amounting to the face of the loan less the agreed commission and certain expenses. At that time the bank did not receive the commission exacted or agreed upon. It received nothing in fact except the promise to pay in the future.
While in this case the transaction involves commissions instead of interest or discounts, as was involved in the cases of Chatham & Phenix National Bank, 1 B. T. A. 460; The Bank of Hartsville, 1 B. T. A. 920; Madison & Kedzie State Bank, 1 B. T. A. 922; First National Bank of Stoughton, Wisconsin, 2 B. T. A. 586, we see no
Judgment will be entered on 15 da/ys’ notice, under Rule 50.
