SUNDAY, JANUARY 3, 1943 ALL SALARIES PAID IN JAN. WILL BE TAXED Money Earned In Dec., But Paid Friday, Will Be Nicked WASHINGTON, Jan. 1. —The Treasury, it was learned author itatively today, has ruel-d, ,that the new victory tax must' be withheld from all wages and salaries paid in January, even though part or all of the money was earned in December. Irt other words, a man paid monthly on the first of the month will find a victory tax nick taken out of his pay enve lope, despite the fact that he worked for the money in Dec ember. The Treasury ruling was based on the language of the law which says “there shall be levi ed, collected and paid dor each One Day!

It eaxable year beginning after Dec. 31, 1942, a victory tax of 5 percent, upon the victory tax net income of every individual.” Wages and salaries received in 1943 are to be considered “in come" for 1943 under the ruling, regardless of the period in which they were earned. Two members of the Senate Finance Committee, active in the drafting of the new tax bill, declared the ruling ran counter to Congressional intent. “It was the intention of Con gress, I know, to base the tax on 1943 earnings,” said Senator Byrd (D-Va.) “I’d be in favor of clarifying it, and applying the tax to income earned in the next month.” Senator Danaher (R-Conn.) said that there was “no slightest doubt” that the act provides that the victory tax withholding de ducion from salaries should ap ply to income commencing Jan. 1, 1943. “The apparent incongruity be tween the act and the Treasury’s ruling which calls for a deduc tion on income received, even though not earned, in January, may be justified only on grounds of expediency,” he said. “First, the computation for tens of millions of wage earners would create enormous book- keeping difficulties. “Second, the withholding tax, in part at least, represents an approximation which will be averaged out over a year’s time. “And again, most wage earn ers are on a cash basis anyhow and at the end of the life of the tax, will receive the advantage earned before the expiration of of not withholding from moneys the act. “One solution lies in getting paid Dec. 31 for moneys earned in December.” Some Government depart ments, it was learned, plan to make such a -pay split for the benefit' of the war effort. * A bi-weekly British Armyj newspaper with a circulation of more than a million is printed in j eight languages.
