in executing his tax return How Tax Is Divided “The income tax Is divided Into two phases the ‘normal’ tax of one per above cent on the whole income $3000 and the additional tax that begins with an extra one per cent above $20000 and Is graduated to six per cent above $500000 Wherever the Income tax le paid ‘at the source’ by a corporation for its employee or in similar cases only the one per cent normal tax is bo paid “The Individual has to pay any tax himself The provisions of the law requiring the tax to be withheld at the source does not take effect until November 1 1913 i“For the first year the citizen will make return to the local Internal revebefore March 1 1914 nue collector as to his earnings from March 1 1913 to the end of this year The collector will notify him June 1 how much he owes and the tax must be paid After next year the tax by June 30 will apply on the full calendar year “If the income of a person is under or If the tax upon same Is $3000 withheld for payment at the source or If the same is to be paid elsewhere in the United States affidavit may be made to such fact and thereupon no return will be required Covert Incomes of All Citizens “The tax
