OLD INGOME TAX RATE STILL HOLDS Changes Disoussed by Con- gress Are Not Effective This Year. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. Judging by inquiries received here, many &eople do not understand that when they make out their tax returns Maryland Winner JOSEPH GRAND REPRESENTS LEONARD HALL. for filing on March 15 thoy will use the old rates and schedules. ‘nd will not be | affected by the pror .ed tax changes now being discussed ¢ Congress Even the cap®al rains and loss pro- visions are intz the individual or corporation fill ns, but this will not be the case wi n March 15, 1933, arrives. On that date w Tates for individuals and corp will take effect It is planned, of course, that the manufacturers’ sales tax will be made | ° effective shortly after the new law is passed, but this is like the other gen- eral taxes on specific commodities and articles which have been in effect. These usually are applied within 30 or 60 days after new legislation is com- pleted with the President’s signature. Congress in Hurry. Congress is in somewhat of & hurry just the same to get & new tax law be- cause the indirect taxes will bring in many millions of dollars even before the present fiscal year comes to an end on July 1. It is desired also to show the world that the taxing power is be- ing applied to bring about a balanced ,budget. As for individuals and corporations, however, the new rates on income taxes will be of no direct importance until a year hence, By that time, incidentally, another presidential election will have been and a new President will have been insugurated as well as a new Congress elected. The tax rates xenmoui will be higher, but it is the hope Congress that business con- ditions will have improved to such an extent that the new tax burden will not e impossible to bear. Tae decision not to make tax changes | retroactive was taken several weeks | ago, but the definiteness of the policy has apparently not percolated as far across the country as it should. The determination was based upon the fact many people had not expected higher tax requirements and hence had not prepared themselves for it, so there would have been numerous personal | embarrassments and possible bankrupt- cles due to inability to raise the cash $o meet the Government's installments. Chance for Adjustment. | As it works out now, the country will | have & chance to adjust itself to the new conditions. Individual budgets will have at least nine months for revision to meet the payments of next year, which may at the option of the tax- payer be spread over four times begin- ning with March 15, 1833, It probably will take another month for the new tax law to get through Congress, as opposition to various pro= 1s in the manufacturers’ tax is d to come, There 1is, however, such a crystallization of opinion in Congress in favor of the new form of taxes that it is doubtful if the oppo- sition will be successful.
