Withholding Plan Urged on Indiana Taxes

End of Property Levy Is Proposed |

By TED KNAP Two major changes in the state tax system have been recommended by the Indiana

Tax Study Commission, it was learned today.

The Commission, set up by the 1951 Legislature, this week com-| pleted the most exhaustive study of the state's tax structure in Indiana history. It's chief propos-| als include: ONE—Drop the state levy of 15 cents on each $100 of assessed property. TWO-— Collect gross income taxes on a payroll withholding basis, just like the federal system. State revenue from property taxes totaled $8.8 million during| the last fiscal year. Although| | this would be lost if the legislature follows the Commission's proposals, Commissioners felt thie amount could be made up by tighter gross income tax collection.

A sales tax was probably the most controversial issue tackled by the bi-partisan commission. Some members felt it should ‘replace the gross income tax as ain source of state revenue, but majority voted to “leave well ugh alone,” The Times learned. ~ Intensive study was giyen the withholding tax problem. Some employers objected it would saddle them with the job of collection: But others told the Commission that as long as companies already withhold federal tax, it would be fairly simple to do the same for the state.

Heavy Losses

Research experts reported Indiana loses $2 million to $4 million a year by not using the withholding system. The present collection method misses transient workers and companies, like those on construction jobs, who are living in another state when it's time to pay Indiana income tax. The state also would save money because the withholding {system is not as costly as present {collection methods. Gov. Schricker, a member of the Commission, said he felt the {group has made “an earnest, bi{partism effort” to analyze In-
