About 46 million workers will see smaller paychecks as new tax cuts take effect June 1. The average withholding reduction varies with income, with a family of four earning 10000 dollars saving about 200 dollars yearly and a 15000 dollar earner saving about 111 dollars. President Carter called the cuts a great benefit to the average American family and noted 80 percent of the five billion dollar tax relief goes to those earning under 15000 dollars annually.
