No,
!New Law Makes
Some Decrease
In Income Tax
"Enactment of new revenue legis
lation," says Collector A. B. Allen,
in a statement just issued, "has
fcroupht to' the office a flood of in
quiries regarding various provisions
of the new law that went into effect
on November 23, 1921.
"To avoid error in the preparation
of their returns and later difficulties
with the bureau of internal revenue,
taxpayers are advised to carefully
note the changes and when they be
come effective.
"The excess profits tax is repealed
as of January 1, 1922.- The rates for
1921 are unchanged.
"The surtax rates for the year 1921
are unchanged, and range from 1 per
cent on the amount of net income be
tween $5,000 and $0,000 to 65 per cent
on the amount of net income in ex
cess of $1,000,000. For the calendar
year 1922 the surtax rates range from
1 per cent on ' the amount of net in
come between $6,000 and $10,000 to
50 per cent on the amount by which
J the net income exceeds $200,000.
I "The exemption allowed for a de
pendent is increased from $200 to
$400. Married persons living with
husband or ' wife and heads of fam
ilies are allowed a personal exemp
tion of $2,500 (instead of $2,000) un
i less the net income is in excess of
5,000, in which case the personal ex- j
I emption is only $2,000. The act pro-'
vides that in no case shall the reduc-
I tion of the personal exemption from
I $2,500 to $2,000 operate to increase
the tax which would be payable if
the exemption were $2,500 by more
than the amount of the net income
in excess of $5,000. This is to over
come the disparity in the case of two
taxpayers, one of whom is Just within
the lower $2,000 exemption and the
oth 'r just within the higher $2,500
exemption.
"Single persons and married persons
not living with husband or wife, are
allowed an exemption of $1,000.. Non
resident aliens are allowed a single
personal exemption of $1,000. Persons
having gross incomes for 1921 of $5,
000 or over are required to make a re
turn, regardless of the amount of net
income.
"Provision is made for the repeal as
of January 1, 1922, of the tax on stock
holders of a personal service corpora
tion as such. After this date such
corporations are to be taxed in the
same manner as other corporations.
"The income tax on corporations for
the calendar year 1922 and thereafter
is increased from 10 to 12i per cent.
The $2,000 exemption heretofore al
lowed corporations is to be granted
oaly to thipse corporations whose net
income is $25,000 or less.
"Many persons are under the im
pression that the taxes on ice cream,
soft drink, etc, monthly returns of
which are required, have been re
pealed with the enactment of the new
act. These taxes remain in force un
til the end of the calendar year 1921.
"No change is made in the tax on
admissions, except that after Jan
uary 1, 1922, there will be no tax
where admission is 10 cents or less.
Effective January 1, 1922, the follow
ing taxes are also abolished; on mu
sical instruments, ' sporting ' goods,
chewing gum, portable electric fans,
thermos bottles, fur articles, pleasure
boats and pleasure canoes (unless
sold for more than $100,) toilet ar
ticles, medicines and numerous ar
ticles of apparel.
"On and after January 1, 1922, the
tax on various works of art is reduced
from 10 per cent to 6 per centj, the
tax on candy from 5 per cent to 3 per
cent and the tax on carpets, rugs,
trunks, valises, purses, fans, etc., from
10 per cent of sales price in excess
of specified amounts to 6 per cent of
sales price in excess of specified
amounts'.
"The tax on parcel post packages is
eliminated effective January 1, 1922.
"The new act provides that no tax
payer shall be subjected to unneces
sary examinations or investigations,
and only one inspection of his books
or accounts shall be made for each
taxable year
