"Income and Absentee Taxes on Equipment Rents -- Mexico." File SPM 073, Section 1. From (~1") More material on hassles between Mexican govt. and SPM. One question asked herein: "In view of the fact that SPdeM settled with the Mexican Government last November for the income taxes accrued on equipment rentals from April 1, 1925 to Oct. 31, 1934, and has billed the amounts involved against the foreign roads that earned the rental, should SPCo. now invoke the statute of limitations in connection with similar bills rendered against it by other Mexican roads?" Many potentially good items, including letter from E.B. Sloan of SPM to Walter Douglas of SPM noting that he'd met with the Mexican Secretary of Finance [Narciso Bassols] the previous night and discussed the application of the income tax on rentals of foreign cars and equipment (letter dated 4/16/35). Also includes other letters to and from Mexican government
