New Tax Plan Presented to Congress Committee
A Treasury proposal for withholding individual income taxes at work was shown to the House Ways and Means Committee. It would start January 1 with 10 percent withheld above personal allowances, crediting half toward 1943 taxes and half toward 1944 taxes. The plan, explained by Randolph Paul, spreads the transition over 1943 into 1944, with rate deductions set at 19 percent of wages and a scale tied to exemptions and dependents.
