New W-4 Forms Sent To Employees A new system of withholding federal income tax will go into effect May 1. Under the Tax Adjustment Act of 1966, recently enacted, withholding will be on a graduated system of six different rates, ranging from 14 per cent to 30 per cent, instead of the flat 14 per cent previously withheld. The Internal Revenue Service advises that this is not a tax increase. Individ ual income tax rates remain the same. The new sliding scale of withholding rates is designed to make the employ ee’s withholding tax come closer to the actual tax he owes (assuming he claims the standard 10 per cent deduction).

Graduated withholding also is expected to reduce overwithholding for many in the lower brackets. Two separate withholding schedules will be used. One applies to single per sons and unmarried heads of households. The other is for married persons. For this reason, married persons must file a new Form W-4. If no new Form W-4 is filed, the employer, by law, must treat married persons as single, and thus withhold more tax from their pay. All employees have been sent a new Form W-4. Employees should fill out these forms, being careful to mark whether they are married or single. The forms should be returned to the depart ment supervisor as promptly as possible. Mill superintendents and staff depart ment heads will need to make sure that W-4 forms for all of their employees are sent to the Payroll Department by the end of this week. Employees for whom no new Form W-4 is received will have their taxes withheld as if they were single persons with no dependents, re sulting in an increase in the amount of tax withheld. —See withholding tables, page 8— Employees Invited To Attend Safety Meet All Fieldcrest employees and the gen eral public are invited to a meeting of the Central Piedmont Safety Council in the Morehead High School auditorium, Thursday, April 21, at 7:30 p.m. The program will be devoted to high way safety and the main speaker will be William T.
