Pay-Go Plan Approved Tentatively
Washington March 5 AP A pay as you go plan for all income taxpayers was approved tentatively by the House Ways and Means subcommittee to take effect July 1. The panel skipped difficult questions about canceling a year’s taxes and smaller abatements, sending that to the full committee. Chairman Doughton said the full committee would meet Monday and expressed elation over speedy action. Under the plan all taxpayers must file 1942 returns and pay the first quarterly installment by March 16 and the second by June 30. Deductions would impose a 20 percent withholding on wages and salaries through pay envelopes and salary checks, covering both income and victory tax.
