ICI h NEW INCOME TAX MEASURE BEARS HARD ON INDIVIDUALS . Analysis of the Operation of the Bill in Levying Imposts on Single and Married Men and Amount of - Exemption Allowed By a Staff Correspondent ABTICI.E 1 Washington, Sept, 11. The Individual income tax In the new War tax bill, now before Congress, Is of the most general Interest because It di rectly affecta more people than any other section of the bll. The tax on the Income of Individuals ft 111 be, as a general rule, two or three times as much under the proposed law for the fiscal year 1919 as vvas collected during the fiscal years 1917 and 1918, The tax on Incomes up to (4000 will be 6 per cent: aboe $4000 12 per cent, Ivlth gradually Increasing surtaxes In addition on Incomes above $5000. T.arge Incomes Heavily Taxed The tax falls lightest on the person with the small Income and heaviest on the person with the large Income. The man with the $2500 Income will pa J J1.20 per $100, while the man with the 1 $ibo,000 Income pas $50 on each $100 It Is estimated that the new income taxes will bring in $1,482,186,000, as compared with $930,000,000 collected from that source for tho Inst two jears As an Instance the married man, with, out children, with a net Income of $2500 will pay $30 Income tax under the new bill, as compared with $10 for the last two years The married man without children, with an Income of $5000, who has paid $50 .taxes for tho last two vears. will pay $180 under the new bill The single man with a net Income of $2500, without dependents, will pay so taxes, while the single man with $6000 net Income will pay J24U The exemption under the new bHMs virtually the Fame as In the revenue act of 1917. Single men must pay taxes on all net Income over $1000 and married persons on net income over $2000, with a credit of $200 for each dependent child under eighteen years of age The new bill gives an added exemption by allow ing a credit of $200 to each taxpayer for persons who, because of mental or physical defect, are Incapable of self support, and depend upon the taxpayer. Method of Tax levy The Income tax will be levied In the follow lng manner: Single man, without dependents, G per cent on the amount his net Income ex ceeds $1000 up to $4000; 12 per cent on the amount his salary exceeds $5000, and surtaxes In increasing percentages as his net income exceeds $5000 Married man, without children or other dependents, 6 per cent on the amount his net Income exceeds $2000 up to $4000; 12 per, cent on the amount his salary exceeds $6040, and surtaxes In Increas ing percentage as his net income ex ceeds $6000 Tho married man is granted an exemption on IiIb normal taxes of $2000 for a dependent wlfo and $200 for each dependent child under eighteen ears of age.

How to Compute Tax An example of the way to figure up Income, taxes duo under the new bill fol lows: 'a married man with a net Income of $10,000(wlth a dependent wife, giving him an exemption of $2000, as an In stance: 1t bit cent tat on firm $4000 120 Twelvo pit cent tax on next I4000 . . 480 Surtax of 2 jier cent on ''00 income bftnwn 11000 and 17500 (SO Surlwx or 1 ner cnt on $2500 between J7600 and $10,000 7V Total tax duo , $845 Tako ns nnother, and a little more complicated example, the married man with a $9500 Income, a dependent wife, four dependent children under eighteen ears of age, and a mother phjstcally incapable of self-support nnd therefore dependent on tho son. Ho gets an ex emption of $2000 ns a married man with dependent wife: $200 on each of the four dependent children nnd the depend ent mother, making his total exemption $3000. His tax Is figured like this: 0 per cent tax on first $4000 $240 12 ptr cent on $2500 between $4000 and $0.100 300 Surtax of 2 per cent on tho $2500 be tween $1000 and $7.100 . 50 Surtax of 1 per rent on the $2000 be tween 47500 and $0100 income 60 Total tix duo $610 How Surtaxes Are Levied The taxpayer Is credited with the exemption only on the normal tax nnd not on tho surtax, so that In the last Instance explained the Individual with $9600 Income psjs normal taxes only on $G500, but surtaxes on the full $9500 Karned and unearned Incomes that Is, moneys earned by labor and monejs received from Investments or otherwise are taxable under the same rates The Individual is entitled to credits in his income on sumo received ns divi dends from a corporation whose net in come Is taxable. Surtaxes begin with the net income of $5000, and nro as follows $5000 to $7500 2 per cent: $7500 to $10,000, 3 per cent: $10,000 to $15,000, 7 per cent: $15,000 to $20,000, 10 per cent; $20,000 to $30,000, 15 per cent; $30,000 to $40, 000, 20 per cent; $40,000 to $50,000, 25 per cent, and on up In gradually In creasing percentages as the lncomo'in creases Where husband and wife, living .to gether, both have earnings they shall receive but one personal exemption of $2000 against their aggregato net In come, and In case they mako separate returns the personal exemption of $2000 may be taken by cither or divided be tween them.
