How to figure proposed income tax increase
The plan would raise your income tax by four dollars per hundred dollars of taxable income. Subtract business expenses, then deduct 10 percent for church and charity up to 500 for individuals or 1000 for couples. Subtract 600 for each personal exemption and 600 for a spouse and each child. Each remaining hundred yields a 4 tax. For precision, multiply income after deductions by 4 percent and add to the pre March 15 1950 estimate to project 1951 tax if unchanged.
