5 XEW l.NCOME TAX LAW
"Get wise", and aoc-u, too, to the
new i.tcome tax law—whether you
arc auiong the favored few with an
annual income r.f over $3,000 or not
This is the advice of Treasury of
ficials. Their net to cash iu
on the new tax is now being spread.
| It may cost vou money if you don't
understand and obej the provisions
of tiis new law, eveu though you
yoursol' may bo exempt from taxa
tion. .Most people believe that, be
cause ihey don's, earn as much as
$3,00'.', they needn't pay any atten
tion to the new law. This may
prove a costly mistake. It effects
vitally thousands of persons and
1 business firms, iu I'dciition to the
small minorit-.- witli 'swollen for
tunes" who must pay the taxes.
For instance, if you rent a farm
or a building for your business up
on which the vintal is over §3000.
YOU- lot the owner of the farm or
1 >iuM»...—are dhecll" .'iunclally li
able tc Uncle .Nini for payment of
part oi the landlord's income tax
every year. YOU must pay this tax
to the government. YOU are held
personally liable for i* by Uncle
Sam. YOU must "hold out" on you
landl'id the ext.ct amoun* of the tax
from your rent and pay it to the j
district iuteruni revenue collector, j
This is a teat at e to which foderal
official are at* mpting to direct I
popular attention today They are
not v orrying about "ta\ dodgers".
They do not feai* that they will over
look r miss any taxes coming to
your Uncle S.imuel. But they do
wish every person to know that he
may he perscnally responsible for
payme.it of so?'.e part of the new
tax upon his landlord's rents or
profits, even though the tenant him
self is not taxable for one cent.
To.l >y—righ'. now—thousands of
interna! revenue collectors all ov
; er the country are compiling lists of
persons who art probably liable for
| an income tax. The law provides
that after November 1 persons who
pay rentals, ««., aggregating over
$3,iM>g a year must begin to "hold
• 1 out" the proper income tax of their
j landlord for 1!"3. This year taxes
j^xuu from March l; that is, the in-j
come tax is to be assessed for only
tea months of 1913. Hereafter, the
' tax must be oaid for the full cal
endar ye;ir. Here is how It will b<
collected:
Corporations, firms, partnerships
etc., must . file sworn statement;
eacu year before March 31 of th
fixed-term salaries, wages, dividend
and the profits paid to each persoi
during tho preceding year in exces
of $3,000. Before June 1, the dis
trict internal revenue collectors wil
notify every firm, etc., of the exac
amount of the t«xes due, which mm
be paid before June 30, subject t<
penalty of 5 per cent of the ta:
and 1 per cent additional monthl;
if further delayed. Three thous
and dollars, for single persons, am
four thousand lor a married couple
is exempt from taxation. Tin
straight, "normal" rate is 1 percen
annually on all incomes in excess o
the exempt sums. That is, if yoi
are a bachelor and earn $3600, yoi
must pay 1 per cent taxes upoi
$000—not upon $3,000. If you ar<
married and living with your wife <
husband, as the case may be, yoi
must pay 1 per cent upou all in
come OVER $1,000—not on the firs
$4,000. If you are on a fixed, stat
od salary, monthly or annually, you
ctuloyer must deduct 1 per cen
taxes on all income over the '$300(
"bachelor" or $4,000 "wedded" ox
emption amounts. The penalty foi
failure to maKc a return by anyone
who is not exea.nt is a fine of
to $1,000. A fine up to $2,00<
and imprisonment for not exceedinj
one year are '-l:e penalties for mak
ing false or fraudulent returns.
Uncle Sam will deal directly witl
tho Individual, t'co. Each persoi
having a taxable income (less ex
einptions) must secure a blanl
lorm from tho revenue collector*!
office aud, under oath, state hi:
net income. He will be notified o
the proper tax by the collector. Not
ices warning all persons whose in
comes art over $3,000 to secure th<
printed blanks will soon be poste(
in every postotfice and federal bulk
ing. To ascertain whose incomes ai
taxable, the collectors will checl
up by having access to bank ant
corporation books, with sworn state
meuts of dividends from corpora
lions. Tho collsctors are now com
piling lists of "prospects"—person:
believed to earn over $3,000. Ten
ants, corporations, firms, etc., wh<
"hold, out." taxes at the source o
earning, are responsible only fo:
the flat, straight rate of 1 per cen
upon all incomes over $3,000. Th<
