quent inquiry. The first relates
to the personal exemptions allow
ed married persons and the Sec
ond, to the provisions requiring
that a return be made of gross
income of $1,000 or more.
The act provides that a married
person, living with husband or
wife whose net income for 1921
was $1,000 or less shall be allow
ed a personal exemption of ST.
500. If the next income of such
person was over $1,000 the ex-
emption is $1,000. Under the
revenue act of 1918 the personal
exemption allowed a married per-
son was $4,000 regardless of the
amount or net income. The nor
NAL tax rate remains unchanged,
4 per cent of the first $4,000 of
net income above the exemptions
and 8 per cent on the remaining
net income.
In order that an income slightly
in excess of SIS, 900 shall not be
subjected to an inordinary dis
portionate tax because of the re-
duction of the exemption to ST.
600 thereon, the law provides
that such reduction shall not op-
crate to increase the tax, which
would be payable if the exemp-
ton were So, 800. by more than
the amount of net income in ex-
cess of $1,000.
For example, on net income of
5000, the tax, without the saw
ing clause, would be S12O.40,
4 per cent on 5000, the amount
of net income less an exemption
of $4,000. The actual tax is
$1,000 computed as follows:
from the net income is deducted
So, 500, leaving $3.50, the 4 per
cent tax on which amounts to
$100.5O. To this added $40, the
amount of net income in excess
of $4,000"
The personal exemptions allow
ed married persons, apply also to
the head of a family, a person
who supports in one household
one or more relatives by blood,
marriage or adoption.
Heretofore, a person whose net
income was less than his exemp-
ton $1,000 if single, or $4,000 if
married) was not required to file
a return. Under the Revenue
Act of 1921, if the gross income
of an individual equalled or ex-
ceeded S., 900 or if the gross in
come of an individual equalled or
exceeded $4,000 or if the combined
gross income of a married couple
and that of dependent minor chill
dren equalled or exceeded $4,000
return must be filed, regard
less of the amount of net income.
met income" is gross income,
less certain deductions. The fact
that allowable deductions from
gross income, for business ex-
penses, losses and bad debts, etc.
may reduce the net income to an
amount below the personal ex-
emptions of 81, 600 or $4,000, does
not alter the requirement to file
a return gross income, if gross
income equalled or exceeded $5,-
