Si Parker-Ar-Coincid- Starting July 1st, both your Income and Victory Tax will be collected by an entirelywiew and more convenient method. Under the old system, you were obliged every March 15th to pay either the full tax for the previous year, or a quarter of that amount. Under the new system, you will keep paid up from month to month. After July 1st, your employer is obliged by the newjaw to withhold every month a part of your wages and turn the money into the United States Treasury as payment on your Income and Victory Tax. Of course, the amount that your employer withholds will depend upon your pay and your exemptions. But this is the important point: For most of us, the amount withheld over a year's period will add up to the same that we're paying now plus or minus a few dollars. At the end of the year, we may owe the Government a few dollars or the Government may owe us. (See the tables below.) You may have heard 20 mentioned as the proportion of your wages that will be withheld. Actually, this is incorrect. To figure the amount that will be withheld, take your total wages and subtract your allowance for exemptions and allowance for dependents; 20 of this lesser amount is the total that will be withheld. Now please remember this : You must claim those exemptions to take advantage of them. Before July 1st, you must file with your employer an Exemption Certificate. If you do not do this, your employer will have no choice but to deduct 20 of your full pay check. Here is how the new tax collection method will work: Let's say you are a working man earning $3,000 a year; that you are married, and have two children. First of all, as a married man you are allowed a personal withholding exemption of $1,248, plus an exemption of $312 for each dependent (other than your wife). This makes a total exemption of $1,872 ($1,248 for yourself and wife, plus $624 for your two except in sto- initials and Pot-PYour having a pic-(possession worth a lot so hard s;you ostensibly ;;Jough to trace, once the a! ,ordo yu deny it?" ve a little speck Was it the po- - CI1 1 01 2i0" it?"

There is one thing more. Since this method leaves you just as much of your net income as you had before, you will probably find it possible to at least maintain your present rate of buying War Bonds. Do this by all means ! Taxes alone will not bring to the Treasury nearly enough money to finance the great invasion war that lies ahead. The war needs every cent of your money that does not go for the necessities of life. pay-as-you-- go u o T . 1 INOLE wi(e $17.50 22.50 27.50 35.00 45.00 55.00 65.00 75.00 85.00 95.00 FROM WEEKLY WAGES FOR INCOME AND VICTORY TAX UNDER PERSON Amount la ba withheld weekly Withholding at a percent J 110 6.3 9.3 11.3 2.10 3.10 4.60 6.60 8.60 10.60 12.60 14.60 16.60 ot watte 13.1 14.7 15.6 16 3 16.8 17.2 17.5 NO DEPENDENTS TABLE 2 Annual total to be withheld Weekly Annual total to be paid S 57.20 S 73.73 109.20 161.20 239.20 343.20 447.20 551.20 655.20 559.20 863.20 126.48 184.23 262.85 373.35 489.85 613.27 737.37 861.48 991.32 wae ,17.50 22.50 27.50 35.00 45.00 55.00 6S.00 ' MARRIED Amoont to be withheld weekly ) 7S.O0 85.00 95.00 NO PERSON Annual total to be Withholding na a percent nt wae .20 .30 .70 2,20 4.20 6.20 8.20 10.20 12.20 14.20 withhfld i 6.J 9.3 11.3 12.6 13.6 14.4 14.9 I Annual total to he paid I 10.40 15.60 36.40 114 40 218.40 322.40 426.40 530.40 634 40 738.40 1.1 1.3 2.5 I DEPENDENTS 8.58 16 38 45 )8 120 88 227 48 334 08 439 29 55880 679 00 7921 wuhaspit curl.

Therefore, in your pay envelope, after July 1, you will receive about $4.40 less each week. In March, 1944, when you ordinarily would be faced with paying taxes on your 1943 income, you will file a return showing how much you have already paid, and how much your total tax actually amounted to. If, by that time, you have already paid more than your actual tax due, you will be given credit for the difference. If you owe more than you have paid, you will pay the difference. Since this plan starts July 1, many wonder what happens to me tax payments they will already have made by that time on March 15 and June 15. For a great majority of people, here is what happens. . . . Your 1942 income tax is "forgiven" (either all, or most of it). The March and June installments which you originally paid on that 1942 income tax are credited, instead, as payments on your 1943 tax. With the result that on July 1st, with the year half gone, yon have already 's income. In short, you are "paying as paid tax on that n. S oV.
