New and Higher Rates of Income Withholding Tax Effective November 1
Frank Scofield, Collector of Internal Revenue in Austin, announces higher withholding tax rates go into effect for wages paid on or after November 1, 1951 under the Revenue Act of 1951. Revised rate tables are being printed and will be mailed to employers once the act is enacted. Employers may also obtain copies at the Collector’s office. The advance figures are published for notices and compliance, though some delays are possible before first payrolls reflect the new rates. The change also relieves penalties for estimated tax declarations on Form 1040 ES for 1951, though higher taxes for 1951 must be paid when filing.
