NEW REGULATIONS
hit BIG INCOMES
More Than $4,000 Taxes BY UnoIe
Sam; Revised Form Reaches
Local Revenue Office

Every person having a net income
Of $4,000 or more per annum is required
to make return thereon, under the
new regulations for the collection of
the federal income tax.
This new regulation, received this
week by the local internal revenue Of
fee, affects large number Of persons
in Hawaii who heretofore have not had
to bother their heads about the income
tax.
The regulation reads: Livery citi.
zen of the United States and every
alien residing within the United States
having for the year 1916 a net income
of $4,000 or over, including dividends
and income on which the tax has been
withheld at the source, Is required on
or before March |, 1917, to make
return ON form 1910, revised. Such re-
turn is required regardless of the fact
that in some instances the net income
amounts to less than the personal ex-
emption to which the individuality en-.
titled"
The new. regulation Is Just opposite
Of the one in force heretofore and af-
fccts much larger proportion of the
population.
For instance, under the old law a
person with a net income Of, say, $4,000
derived entirely from dividends was not
required TO make an income tax return,
as the income tax had been paid by
the corporation from which the divi.
dends were derived, previous to their
distribution. Under the new law such
return is required, Notwithstanding
the fact that no tax is collectable. The
idea is, as explained yesterday by Act.
ing Collector Of Internal Revenue Ralph
tombstone, that the government re-
serves the right to decide for itself
as TO the exemptions claimed by the
individual
Every individual who pays salary, in
terest, rental and so forth to another
person in excess of $4,000 is required
to withhold one per cent from the en-
tire amount, unless an exemption Ger.
tifcate is fled, in which case the tax
should be withheld only on the amount
paid in excess of the exemption claimed,
Single men are allowed an exemption
Of $4,000 and married men an exemption
of $4,000. No surtax is collected on
incomes under $4,000 But here is the
difference between the old and the new
law: Under the, old law person with
an income of $40, 900 derived from div
idends and a personal income of $4,000
Of he were single paid no income tax,
the tax on be dividends having been
collected at the source. Under the new
law the dividend income and the per
sonal income must be added together,
and if the total is in excess of 800, 900,
the surtax, is collected on the excess.
