Each Under New Law.
Other Points of Interest in New
Revenue Legislation.

To what extent will the average
taxpayer be benefited by changes IN
revenue legislation? What are his
exemptions and deductions under the
revenue act of 1921 compared with
tho revenue act of 1918? Hundreds OF
such questions are reaching the bu-
reau Of internal revenue. The purpose
of this article is to answer those most
frequently presented. Later, by di-
rection Of commissioner of internal
revenue, David H. Blair, there will be
prepared for the press a series of in
formative articles telling the taxpayer
in detail how to make out his income
tax return for 1921.
Probably the most important
change affecting the man of moderate
income is in the exemptions. Under
the 1921 act a married man with a
net income of $1,000 and less is en-
titled to an exemption of 81, 500. IN
der the revenue act of 1918 this ex-
emption was limited to $4,000. The
revenue act of 1921 also provides for
each person dependent upon the tax
payer if such person is under eighteen
years of age or incapable of self sup
port because mentally or physically
defective-an exemption of $500. The
exemption under the revenue act of
1918 was $500 for each such depen-
dent Thus a married man with two
dependents whose net income for 1921
was 5000 will pay this year a tax of
s68. compared with s104 on the same
income for 1920.
1921 Exemptions.
The exemption Of S2,5 applies also
to the head of a family whose net in
come for 1924 was $4,000 or less, an
increase of $500 compared with the
1918 act. A head of a family, as de-
fined by present treasury regulations,
is "a person who actually supports and
maintains in one househo.d one or
more individuals who are closely con-
nected with him by blood relation
ship, relationship by marriage, or by
adoption. or whose right to exercise
family control and provide for these
dependents is based upon some moral
or legal obligation"
The normal rate of tax, per cent
on the first $4,000 of net income above
the exemptions, and per cent on the
remaining net income, remains I'M
changed. This applies to citizens and
residents of the United States Alien
non-residents are taxed to the full
8 per cent on income received from
sources within the United States
Non resident aliens are allowed only
a single personal exemption of $1,000
To overcome the disparity in the
amount of normal tax in the case OF
two taxpayers, one Of whom is jus:
