26 CFR § 1.1-1 Income tax on individuals.
"(a) General rule. (1) Section 1 of the Code imposes an income tax ON
THE INCOME of every individual who is a citizen or resident of the
United States ...."



Taxable income is gross income less deductions.

Gross income IS "income."

Therefore, taxable income IS income ... it is the income left after
subtracting deductions.

Unless you think that taxable income doesn't include income ... maybe
its grated cheese perhaps?

And don't forget that to calculate the tax, only "taxable income" is
of interest.

Where's macDonald with his "I always look at the statutes first" when
you need him.

Quoting the regulation is now "spin."

Why did you ignore the first sentence which says that the code imposes
an income tax "on the income" of individuals?

The tax is imposed on taxable income.

The tax is imposed on income.

They both say the the same thing because "taxable income" IS "income."

Are you asserting that "taxable income" is grated cheese?

Seems that liar, er lawyer training is a little light on set theory.

See if you can decipher this Venn diagram.



A tax imposed upon "INCOME" would be a tax imposed upon "GROSS INCOME".
That's NOT what section 1 says.
That's NOT what the tax is calculated on.

Onry opines: "....not all income is taxable income."

The statutes do exempt some income Onry ... nobody with any sense denies that.

That doesn't mean that what's left in taxable income isn't "income."

Perhaps you think that "taxable income" is grated cheese too.

Showing how little Dale knows about reading Venn diagrams.

Dale, what is taxable income composed of?  Your diagram shows that it
is made of income.

Thanks for proving my point.

Not all income will be included in "taxable income" (the standard
deduction is an obvious example of income not included in the
equation) ... but that doesn't mean that taxable income isn't composed
of income.

You're such a dope Dale.

claim is imposed on those red dollar ($) signs.

I did not claim that. You are lying.  If you think otherwise then

provide a citation and link to where I said any such thing.

The tax is on taxable income.

Taxable income is composed of subset of income.

Cleary not ALL income is taxable income (the standard exemption is an
obvious case.)

But that doesn't mean that what's left in "taxable income" isn't
"income." It's that income which is left

How dumb are you Dale?

A little summary of what you just read is in order, so that you may see the subtle spin this accomplished liar uses to hide his lies.

Mr. Rookard first states: "the code imposes an income tax "on the income" of individuals"

Shown proof that the tax is not calculated upon "the income" but upon the "taxable income" the issue being argued is subtlely changed to something entirely different. The issue is changed to an argument about whether "taxable income" is "income" and the incorrect assertion about a tax on "income" is spun away into oblivion.

As you wish:

"Why did you ignore the first sentence which says that the code imposes
an income tax "on the income" of individuals?"
  Substantiating cite

Note: I have since found out that the (taxable) "income" is but the measure of a tax on the doing of privileged activities.

The sixteenth amendment authorizes the taxation of income "from whatever source derived" -- thus taking in investment income --"without apportionment among the several States."  The Supreme Court has held that the sixteenth amendment did not extend the taxing power of the United States to new or excepted subjects but merely removed the necessity which might otherwise exist for an apportionment among the States of taxes laid on income whether it be derived from one source or another. So the amendment made it possible to bring investment income within the scope of a general income-tax law, but did not change the character of the taxIt is still fundamentally an excise or duty with respect to the privilege of carrying on any activity or owning any property which produces income.

The income tax is, therefor, not a tax on income as such, It is an excise tax with respect to certain activities and privileges which is measured by reference to the income they produceThe income is not the subject of the tax: it is the basis for determining the amount of tax.
