Carmel School District No. 1 2 mills Willington S. D. No. 2 5 mills Bordeaux S. D. No. 3 2 mills McCormick S. D. No. 4 January 31 Final Date Columbia, Jan. 17.—Subject em ployers, although required under the state law to submit contribu tions covering December employ ment to the South Carolina un employment compensation commis sion by January 15, will neverthe less be credited by the federal government with the 90 per cent “offset” on remittances otherwise due it for 1937, on all contributions paid the state commission before midnight, January 31, R. Brice Waters, administrator for the state commission, said today. The administrator said that sub ject employers v/ere allowed to take credit on their federal contribu tions for not morfe than 90 per cent of the amount paid to tne state commission, but that before credit was given, the commission would first send a certificate to the United States treasury department showing that the state had been paid. A large number of employers have requested the commission to furnish them with letters stating they had paid their contributions in full for 1937. The administrator said it was not necessary for the employers to have such certificates, as the department would submit the required certification direct to the department of internal revenue of the United States treasury. Mr. Waters urged subject em ployers to take full advantage of the federal tax offset by su omit ting their contributions before the end of this month. “It will meaa a saving to them to pay on time”, he added.
