new INCOME
TAX PLAN HERE
UP TOMORROW
Levyon $4,000 Salary
Before Revision Group

In an effort to achieve unanimi-
ty, the District Tax Advisory Com
mittee will meet tomorrow to con-
slider a proposal to tax all incomes
here {: $4,000 or more per year.
Presumably, the. income levy
would supplant the combination
income-Sales tax suggestion which
for two weeks has prevented the
committee from drawing in final
form its recommendations TO-: al
teration Of the Districts taxation
system.
Modelled along the graduated
lines Of the Federal income tax,
1t would be applicable to the Sala-
ries ami incomes of all District
residents, including Government
workers, Senators and Representa-
tives.
ONE OF FIVE PLANS
The combination sa1es-income
proposal contemplated a tax rang
ing from 2 to per cent on income
other than wages and salaries and
o 2 per cent tax on sales, with ex-
emptions provided for foods and
medicines.
It was one of five suggested tax
plans. The others were elimina-
ton Of the business privilege and
Intangible personal property taxes,
q levy of 5 per cent on the incomes
Of the four local public utilities
corporations, and continuation OF
the realty tax rate of SITS per
500 Of valuation.
A stormy session appeared in
prospect for the committee. At
least one member made clear he
would not be party to any recon-
mendation for an income tax. II
the majority Of the committee in
sists on the recommendation, it
was indicated, minority report
may be submitted.
DEADLINE JAN. 13.
Even though the committee
should agree on a proposal for an
income tax, Congress-unleSs it
experiences change of attitude
Is expected to frown upon it. On
two occasions. the House of Rep.
resentatives has refused to coun-
tenance income tax legislation for
the District.
Cognizant of widespread criti-
cism Of the Districts tax Setup,
Congress last year approved the
formation of the Tax Advisory
Committee. It ordered the tax
group to make its recommends
tionS to the Joint Committee on
Internal Revenue taxation. The
deadline for submission Of the tax
plans is January 13. 4,
