20 Percent Levy To Take Effect By July First
Washington March 2 congressional Ruml alan backers plan to tie a skip a tax car provision onto legislation imposing a 20 percent withholding levy on 80 million plus wage earners. The House Ways and Means subcommittee approved the withholding, effective July 1, as a method of deductions from pay. The levy would not be an additional tax but would be applied to current taxes. it would include the Victory Tax already withheld. Taxpayers must still pay at least the first two installments of 1942 income taxes due March 15 and June 15. The subcommittee avoided forgiveness questions for now and outlined a plan beginning July 1, 1943 for withholding 1-3 percent on wages above exemptions and 17 percent above regular income tax exemptions, plus 340 per dependent, increased by 10 percent for deductions. Cooper estimated about 70 percent of 44 million individual taxpayers would be affected. The withholding system could cancel out 40 percent of the current Victory Tax. the reform aims to simplify current collection.
