LOS ANGELES.- In reply to a request
for a rulin g as to wh ether or not mon ey
placed in ma rble ga mes located in caba·
l ets and similar pl aces where dancin g is
enjoyed an d a 5% tax is in effect, H. G.
Barn ett, Chief of Miscellaneous Division for
the Bureau of Intern al Revenue in the Sixth
District of California, ruled as follows :
"R eference is made to y.o ur letter of May
15, 1942, concerning the 5% tax attachin g
to cabarets, roof gardens, and similar
places of entertainm ent with s pecific ref-
erence to the moneys received from the
.operatio n of pin ga mes as to whether or
not such money should be included in the
total receipts for tax purposes.
"While this office has no rulin g directly
concernin g moneys received from pin
ga mes, it does have a ruling concerning th e
mon ey placed in coin operated mechanical
music machines in cabarets and simila r
places of entertainment. Th e Bureau hol ds
th at th e coins deposited by patrons in me·
chanical music machines does not consti-
tute amounts paid for admission, r efresh-
ments, service or merchandi se and th ere-
fore a re roo t subj ect to tax.
" In view of the above, it is th e opinion
of this office tha t mon eys placed in pin-ball
rr. achines by patrons woul d co me within th e
,arn e ca tegory and tha t such amoun.ts
should not be included in th e receipts for
tax purposes, under section 1700 (e ) of the
In tern al Revenue Code."
