Law May Cost Small Business Men $81 Many small business men are in for a disagreeable tax surprise this winter. Since January 1, most self-em ployed have been covered by so cial security. A great majority, however, does not know this. Nor do they realize that their tax lia bility under the new extended So cial Security Laws is going to fall due in one lump sum next March 15. For many it will be $81. This was revealed recently when the Census Bureau took a poll and discovered that of the 1,600.000 self-employed retail mer chants in this country, only 500,- 000 realized that social security had been extended to cover them and that their tax liability was even now accumulating. The salaried worker pays his social security tax every week through a deduction from his pay. The self-employed, however, do not pay the tax until March, when they file their annual income tax report. At that time, the tax for the past year must be paid in full. For a self-employed person earning $3,600 a year or more, this social security tax will amount to $81 next March. For those who earned less than $3,600 the tax is figured at 2 1-2 per cent of their income. Social security administrators are deeply concerned over the lack of public understanding of the provision of the amended law. But while the new tax may come as an unpleasanl shock to many, it is pointed out that to others it may bring immediate and unrealized benefits In the first place, the self-em ployed get a better break on so cial security than. do salaried workers. A salaried worker pays 1 1-2 per cent of his pay check up to $3,600 a year, as his shard of the tax, and his employer pays a similar amount. For the self- employed, however, the total tax is only 2 1-2 per cent. Also, the Government is doing what is called “picking up the liability” on the self-employed coming under the new law. A proprietor of a store who is 65 years old or more must work now for only about two years—and pay him a month his wife. two years’ tax—in to ^retire on benefits order of $40 for $80 for for himself, plus if he is married. Included in the new law under the term self-employed, are most business people. Most professions, on the other hand, are not cover ed. Specifically excluded are doc tors, dentists, certified public ac countants, funeral directors, os teopaths, chiropractors and minis ters. Farmers also are not cover ed There are many wrinkles in the provision of the new law as it applies to the self-employed, ad ministrators point out. For one thing, the law reads that a small retailer is entitled to benefits if he contributes “substantial serv ices” to a business enterprise— provided, of course, he is retiring and not receiving a total of $50 a month from other employment. Among substantial services is the contribution of capital to an enterprise, as an illustration. This means that if a man puts up the capital for a business and decides to quit work at 65, he can draw his benefits from social security each month—providing he keeps away from the business. Suppose a man in his position, and with a wife and two children, decides to go to Florida and simp ly draw from his business his share of the profits. These profits will not be considered as pay ment for services currently rend ered, and he will be able to draw his social security check. If he is married and ha^ two children, this check, after next April, will amount to $150 a month, and he also will have his income from his investment in his business. Another common misunder standing of the law is the belief that coverage is voluntary. This is not so. Everyone who comes under the terms of the law Is automatically covered and must pay his tax, receiving the correla tive benefits. As a matter of fact, there is not a wide enough understanding of the many ramifications of the Social Security Laws, both new and old, nor do many realize what a large factor in our economic life the whole system has become, (continued on ipage eight) Mrs. T.
