YOUR INCOME TAX
Expert Advice Given by u. S. Internal Revenue
Bureau Based on Latest Changes
In Legislation.
ARTICLE No. 4.

The normal rate of tax under the
revenue act of 1924 is per cent on
the first $4,000 of net income In ex-
CESS of the personal exemption, credit
for dependents, etc, 4 per cent on the
next $4,000 and 6 per cent on the
balance. The surtax is a graduated
tax upon the net income of any indi-
yidual in excess of $4,000. The rate
OF tax begins at l per cent of the
amount in excess of $4,000, but not
in excess of s14, 200. Upon incomes of
sl4, 600 there is q tax OF $40. with
rising graduations until finally the
tax is $1,000 upon net incomes OF
100000 and upon net incomes in ex-
cess of 100000 in addition 40 per
cent of such excess. Under the pre-
ceding act the normal rates were 4
per cent on the first $4,000 of net in
come above the exemptions and
credits and 8 per cent on the re-
mainder Of net income, while the sur
tax rates ranged from / per cent on
the amount by which the net income
exceeded $4,000 and did not exceed
$40, 900 to so per cent of the amount
by which the net income exceeded
5000, ,00O
The revenue act of 1924 contains a
special provision for reduced taxes,
which did not appear in previous
laws. All net income up 10 the
amount of $1,000 is deemed to be
earned income. On this amount the
taxpayer is entitled to a credit Of
25 per cent of the amount of the tax.
For example, a taxpayer, unmarried
and with no dependents. whose net
income for 1924 was $4,000 would pay
without this reduction a tax of $50
His actual tax is $50. From his net
income of $1,000 he is allowed a
personal exemption of $1,000: the tax
of per cent on the first $4,000 is $50,
one fourth of which, or $50, may be
deducted.
In no case is the earned income
considered to be in excess OF $4,000.
AS an instance, taxpayer, married
and with two dependent children, re-
ceiyed in 1924 salary of $4,000.
His total tax, including normal and
surtax, without the 25 per cent re-
duction on earned net income would
amount to 1902. However, he may
deduct from $4,000, the maximum
amount of earned net income, $500
d personal exemption of s2,500, plus
a $400 credit for each dependent. On
the remaining $500 mis- tax amounts
to s18S-2 per cent on the first $4,000
