Plan to Withhold 20 Percent Of Taxable Pay
Warrington March 1 The plan to withhold 20 percent of taxable income from pay envelopes for 31 million workers was tentatively approved by the House ways and means committee on pay as you go taxation. It would deduct weekly, semi monthly or monthly amounts to cover end of year taxes, including the present first bracket tax and the victory tax, with two installments due March 16 and June 16. The panel postponed action on cancelling part of the tax year and the idea of skipping 1942 on the tax calendar. Rep. Roughton reiterated opposition to abating a tax year as the debate over a current collection system moves toward a showdown.
