Uncle Sam Likely To Gain 7 Billions In Income Tax
Government moves into its heaviest tax period and may gain about 7 billion dollars by end of March. Officials say a similar 7 billion surplus could appear for the 1948 fiscal year ending June 30, far above the President's initial estimate. Receipts have exceeded spending by over 715 million, with analysts predicting about 6 billion more in the next three and a half months. The December-March period boosted the surplus through peak corporate and individual tax payments. The withholding tax from payrolls continues steadily, and March totals exceeded 40 percent of the year’s expected receipts.
