*★* * ★*★*★* *** A •;■ * TO: Every American on a Payroll FROM: The Secretary of the Treasury SUBJECT: The New Pay-As-You-Go Method I of Collecting Your Income Tax «

Startinif July Ist, both your Income and Victory Tax will be collected by an entirely new and more convenient method. Under the old system, you were obliged every March 15th to pay either the /uff tax for the previous year, or a quarter of that amount. Under the new system, you will keep paid up from month to month. Mttr July Ist, your employer is obliged by the new law to withhold every month a part of your wages and turn the money into the United States Treasury as payment on yossr Income and Victory Tax. Os course, the amount that your employer withholds will depend upon your pay and your exemptions. But this is the important point: For most of nr, the amount withheld over a year't period will add up to the tame that we're Paying now —plus or minus a few dollars. At the end of the year, we may owe the Government a few dollars or the Government may owe us. (See the tables below.) You may have heard 20% mentioned as the proportion of your wages that will be withheld. Actually, this is incorrect. To figure the amount that will be withheld, take your total wages and ruhtract your allowance for exemptions and allowance for dependents; 20% of this letter amount is the total that will be withheld. Now please remember this: You must claim those exemptions to take advantage of them. Before July Ist, you must file with your employer an Exemption Certificate. If you do not do this, your employer will have no choice but to deduct 20% of your full pay check. Here is how the new tn collection method will work: Lot’s say you arc a working man earning $3,000 a year; that you are married, and have two children. First of all, as a married man you are allowed a personal withholding exemption of $1,248, plus an exemption of $312 for each dependent (other than your wife). This makes a total exemption of $1,872 ($1,248 for yourself and wife, plus $624 for your two t

And they are urging that Immediate steps be taken to prevent r curretice of these outbteaks. After a meeting with Mayor Edward Jeffries last night they charged that the Ku Klux Klan and other fifth column elements Inspired the riot, and demanded that all klansm n and fifth columnists iu Detroit be rounded up. Thousands of persons who disobeyed the governor’s 10 p. m. curfew returned to their homes. Only war workers going to or from their jobs were permitted on the streets. Everywhere bars and places of amusements. Including movies, have been closed until further notlcr. At Fort Custer.

During the Detroit fighting three sailors broke up an attack when s gang of white youths began to close in on a Negro.

June 22.—(UP) —United Stales submarine commanders say Japan has no adequate defense against our undersea craft.

There* fore, in your pay envelope, after July 1, you will receive about $4.40 less each week. In March, 1944, when you ordinarily would he faced with paying taxes on your 1943 income, you will file a return showing how much you have already paid, and how much your total tax actually amounted to. If, by that time, you have already paid more than your actual tax due, you will be given credit for the difference. If you owe more than you have paid, you will pay the difference. Since thia plan starts July 1, many wonder what happens to the tax payments they will already have made by that time— on March 15 and June IS. For a greet majority of people, here ie what happens. ... Your 1942 income tax is “forgiven” (either ell, or most of it). The Msrch and June installments which you originally paid on that 1942 income tax are credited, instead, as payments on your 1943 tax. With the result that on July Ist, with the year half gone, yew Asvr already Paid tax on that halGyear’s income. In abort, you are “paying as you go." There is one thing more. Since this pay-as-you-go method leaves you just as much of your net income as you had before, you will probably find it possible to at laatl maintain your present rate of buying War Bonds. Do this by all moans I Taxes alone will not bring to the Treasury nearly enough money to finance the groat invasion war that lies ahead. The war needs every cent of your money that does not go for the necessities of life.
