REVIENUE LAWS ARM MADE PLAIN Collector of Internal Revenue ExplaIns Vow Provisions of Income T Law. The following statement, is issued by Acting Collector of Internal Reve nu, W. IR. Bradley, Distict of South Carolina: Enactment of new revenue legisla tibn -has brought to the offices of Col lectors of Internal Revenue a flood of inquiries regarding various provisions. The Revenue Act of 1921 became ef fective November 23 1921, "un'less otherwise provided for." To avoid error in 'the -preparation of their returfns an dlater difficulties with the Bureau of Internal Revenue, taxpayers are advised to carefully note the changes and when they become ef fective. The excess profits tax is repealed as of January 1, 1922. The rates for 1921 are unchanged. The surtax rates for the calendar year 1921 are unchanged and range from 1 r:ler cent on the amount of net income between $5,000 and $6,000 to 65 -per cent on the amount of net in come in excess of $1,000,000. For the calendar year 1922 the surtax rates range from 1 per cent on the amount of net income between $6,000 and $10, 000 to 56 iper cent on the amount by which the net income exceeds $200,000. The exemption allowed for a depend cnt is increased from $200 to $400. Married persons living with husband or wife and 'heads of families are al lowed a personal exemption of $2500 (instead of $2,000), unless the net in come is in excess of $5,000, in which case the personal exemption is only $2,000. The act provides that -in no case shall the reduction of the person al exemption from $2,500 to $2,000 op erate to increase the tax which would be payable it the exemption were $2, 600 by more than the amount of the net income in excess of $5,000. This Is to overcome the disparity in the case of two -taxpayers, one of whom is just within the lower $2,000 exemption atid the other just within the higher $2,500 exemption. Single persons, and married persons not living iwith husband or wife, are al-lowed an exemption of $1,000. Non resident aliens are allowed a single peroanal cemxplXon of $1,000. Per sons having gross not Incomes for 1921 of $5,000 or over are required to make a return, regardless of the amount of not income. Provision is made for the repeal as of January 1, 1922, of the tax on holders of a personal service corpor ation as such. After that date such corporations are to be taxed in the same manner as other corporations. The income tax on- corporations for the calendar year 1922 and thereafter is Increased from 10 to 12 1-2 per cent. The $2,000 exemption. heretofore all.. lowed corporations is to be granted on ly to those corporations whose not in come Is $25,000 or less. Many persons are under the Impres siog that the taxes on ice cream, soft drih ks, etc., monthly returns of which are required, have been rc'pealed with the enactment of the ne'w act. These taxes remain in force until the end of the calendar year 1921. 'No change 'Is made in the tax on ad mission, except that after January 1, 1922 there will be no tax where the tax is 10 cents or less. 1Effective January 1, 1922 the following taxes are also abolished: on musical instruments, sporting goods, chewing gum, p)ortable electric fans, thermos bottles, fur ar ticles, pleasure boats and pleasure ca noes, (unless sold for more than $100), toilet articles, medicines and numerous articles of apparel. On and after January 1, 1922, the tax on various works of art is redlucedl from 10 per cent to 5 per cent, the tax on candy from 5 por cent to 3 -per cent and the tax on carpets, rugs, trunks, valises, purses, fans, etc., from 10 sper cent of sales price in excess of speci fled amounts to 6 per cent of sales price in- excess of specified amounts. The tax on parcel post packages Is eliminated effective January 1, -1922. The new act provides that no taxrpay er shall be subjected to unnecessary examinations or investigations, and on ly ohe Inspection of his books of ac counts shall .be made. for each taxable year, unless the taxpayer requests otherwise, or the Oomnmissioner' noti fibs the taxcayer in witing -that an ad ditional Inspection 'is necessary. The period for, filing returns on the calendar year basis is from January 1 to March 15th, 1922. This year, as last, the tax may be paid in full at the time of filing the return or In four equal installments, due on or before March 15th, June 15th, September 15th and 'December -15th.
