Show 14 America Loves Chicken Bankers Say 17, Interest Withholding To Cost Savers Billions Of Dollars Thurs., Savers and investors will lose about $1.5 billion a year beginning July 1 under a new law requiring banks and other financial institu- tions to withhold 10 percent of interest and dividend payments, a banking expert said today. Lawrence W. Alder, executive vice president of the Utah Bankers Association, said that the new withholding provision is a "consumer volcano thats about to erupt. "People are just beginning to realize that the widely publicized 10 percent tax cut next July will be accompanied by the governments withholding 10 percent of their interest earnings on their savings and investments, he said. Alder added that Congress, after repeatedly defeating similar proposals over the past 40 years, passed the legislation this summer ostensibly to increase the level of taxpayer compliance in the area of dividends. However, he said, the Treasury Department reports that at least 95 percent of taxpayers already pay taxes on interest and dividend income that is subject to reporting. And 75 percent of individual tax returns submitted end up with refunds. "Therefore, said Alder, "it is pretty obvious that instead of real income to the Treasury, there will be a surge of unreal new money to the government in 1983, most of which will have to be returned to taxpayers the following year. Because the loss of income in flaw in the withholding provision is that it shows no promise for imthe reason proving compliance that Congress gave for passing the law in the first place. Aider explained that the tax law interest and dividend compounding will exceed $1.5 billion, "most people who save and invest will be punished for saving, Alder charged. "What we have here is a disincentive for saving and investment. The new law allows some exemptions from the withholding provision. People who are under 65 and have a tax liability of $600 ($1,000 on a joint return), and people over 65 with a tax liabiilty of $1,500 ($2,500 on a joint return), may apply for an exemption also includes new provisions to broaden "information reporting the process by which banks and other financial institutions report interest payments to the IRS. Alder said that the Utah Bankers Association supported the provisions to broaden information reporting. It would be far more useful in improving compliance than withholding 10 percent bf interest payments, "which penalizes millions of honest taxpayers, he said. "The whole principal behind withholding on interest and dividends is an insult, Alder said. The implication is that you and I cannot be trusted to pay the taxes we from withholding. However, Alder said, The way those exemptions will be handled is just another example of unnecesary government intrusion into our lives. Filing for exemption will be the sole responsibility of the consumer and not that of the financial institution. To qualify for an exemption, people have to go to their banks and give a bank employee a form on which they have sworn that their tax liability for the previous year was less than the ceiling amounts. This raises a serious privacy issue, Alder charged. "How would you like your bank teller, who may be your neighbor or a member of your church, to see how much tax you pay? In addition, you will have to file an exemption form for each account. Besides the enormous expense to owe. Alder urged that people write their Congressional representatives about the 10 percent withholding on interest and dividends. "If there is a strong national protest from the people back home, our Congressmen and Senators will have no choice but to repeal this bad law, he said. Tell them in clear, unequivocal language that we would rather have Uncle Sam trust us and not be raiding our savings accounts. "The government wants a piece of our savings. Instead, lets give Congress a piece of our mind, Alder concluded. taxpayers in the loss of interest compounded and the privacy issue for those who qualify for exemptions, Alder added that another One recipe that has become a Chickens came to America with 1983, Christopher Columbus and the classic in this regard is saucy Glorified Chicken.
