INCOME TAX NOW
DUE GOVERNMENT
OF THE NATION
WASHINGTON, Jan. 8. — The
great task ot* gathering income tax
and excess profits has begun.
Every unmarried person earning
more than $1,000 during the last year,
and every married person or head of
a family who made more tha»\ $2,000,
must tile with the internal revenue)
collector of his district a report any |
lime between now and March 1. He,
will be notified before June 1 of the
tax due, and payment will be due by
June 15.
The government expects to receive!
$1,201,000,000 from income taxes be-!
fore July 1, including $(>(>0,000,000.
from individuals and $52.5,000,000 j
from corporations. This is more than j
one third of the $2,400,000,000 esti-i
mated receipts under the war revenue j
act passed by Congress at the last;
session.
From excess profits taxes, the gov-1
eminent expects to realize about $l,-j
220,000,000 before July 1.
The rate of tax for a married man j
or the head of a family is 2 per cent.j
on the amount of his net income ex
ceeding $3,000, but less than$4,000, j
and 4 per cent, on the amount of hi:; {
net income above $4,00, but less than
$5,000. An unmarried person not the.
head of a family will pay 2 per cent. I
on the amount of net income above)
$1,000 but less than $2,000, and 4 per
cent on the net income above $2,000,
but less than $5,000.
Kxtra Heavy
An extra levy, or surtax, in addi-j
tion to the normal tax, is imposed on
incomes above $5,000, so that the
amount of income between $5,000 and
$7500 is subject to a total income tax,
including both normal and extra, of 5
per cent; and between $7,500 and $10,
000, 0 per cent. The surtax further
increases with higher incomes, so that
amounts of $1,000,000 are taxable at
05 per cent with one per cent, addi
tional for each half million up to two
million dollars. All incomes over the
latter amount are taxable at 07 per
cent.
Heads of Families
Typical income tax levies on heads
of families are as follows; Income of
$2,500, tax is $10; income of $8,000,
tax is $20; income of $8,500, tax is
$20; income of $4000, tax is $40; in
como of $4500, tax is $00, income of
*5000, tax is $80.
Unmarried Men's lax
Unmarried persons would pay in(
this way; Income of $1,500, tax is $10; j
income of $2000, tax is $20; income ot
$2500 tax is $20; income of $8000,
tax is $40; income of $8,500, tax is
$00; income of $4,000, tax is $80; in
come of $4500, tax is $100; income of
$5000, tax is $120.
Taxes may be paid in four install
ments between now and June 15, if
this arrangement is preferred, but the
Treasury will open a determined cam
paign soon to encourage persons to
pay their tax in full immediately, and
receive interest on the advance pay
ment.
Accountants at Work
A small army of accountants, es
pecially trained for the work in
schools conducted by district collect
ors for tho past two weeks, have gone
into the field to assist persons in fil
ing their returns, and will travel on
pre-arranged itineraries for a month
or more. In addition, federal agricul
tural agents, and representatives of1
state and county councils of national
defense, have enlisted in the campaign ,
of education. By this extensive cam
paign of education, Internal Revenue
Commissioner Roper hopes to elimin
ate the chances of failure to file a re-!
turn through ignorance of the require-1
ments.
In fact, officials in charge of the
tax gathering machine expect to eli
minate the usual grudging spirit of'
taxpayers. They have called this a
“Liberty Tax,'f because :ts proceeds
go to the same war cause as the Lib
erty Fond issues, and every effort will
be made to encourage the spirit of
willing giving among those on whom
the tax falls.
Seven Million to Pay
About 7,000,000 persons will pay in
come taxes, it is estimated, and most
will be subject to a direct federal taxj
for the first time, for less than 500.
000 paid income taxes last year under
the old law. Tax return forms have;
been made as simple as possible, those
for incomes of less than $11,000 being
especially free from technical featured
or inquisitorial items.
Corporations will pay income taxes;
also, but on a different basis. Their I
net income is subject to a. tax of 0
per cent under the new war revenue j
act and certain technical deductions
arc allowed. Corporation returns are
due between J m. 1 and March 1, for
the calendar year 1017, and companies
operating on a fiscal year basis must
report within <>0 days after the end
of the fiscal year.
beginning on January 1st also, ex
cess profits returns for the year 1017
will now be received from corpora
tions, partnerships and individuals.
The last date for the filing of these
;s Mnrrh 1, the same as on income re
turns, and payment must be made al
so be foie .June 15, except under the
fiscal yea? arrangement.
Individuals making more than $C,
00C during the year also ifro subject
to an 8 per cent, lav on their income
above that amount, independent cf the
regular income taxes. This 8 per
cent levy is imposed on individuals
with no capital, or with only nominal
capita', such as professional n e?i
with money invested in books, dentist
and physician’s instruments, or olner
equipment.
Excess Profits
Another kind of tax is laid on ex
cess profits of businesses having in
vested capital. On this basis, taxes
on net incomes or profits in excess
certain deductions are at the istc of
20 per cert, of the amount of net in
come in excess of the deduction and
not in excess of 15 per cent on the
invested capital; 25 per cent on the
amount in excess of 15 per cent and
not in excess of 20 per cent; 25 per
cent on the amount in excess of 20 j
per cent and not in excess of 25 per
cent; 40 per cent on the amount in
excess of 25 per cent and not in ex
cess of 22 pei cent; and GO per cent.*
on the amount in excess of 22 per;
cent.
Non-Taxahles
before tax is levied on excess pro
fits, for 1017, a business permitted
to make the same percentage of pro
fits on its invested capital that it
made on its invested capital during
1011, 1012, and 1012, the so-called,
“pre-war” period, providing this is
nut more than nine per cent, and $2,
000 additional for a corporation or!
sG.000 for a partnership or individual.
These are the deductions which arc
not taxable.
Definitions of terms, .particularly
the items making up “invested cap •
ital,” have been made in h number or
lecent regulations issued by Commis
sioner Roper.
Excess profits taxes and income
taxes may be imposed on the same
earnings, if they are sufficiently high.
The law specifies, however, that the
amount of tax payable under the ex-,
cess profits provision may be deduct-!
ed from gross income, before deter- j
mining the net income or. which in-j
come tax^s are paid.
