This new First Revenue Act OF
1912 is expected to raise about
$40 billion for the government
in l943. Eight billion of 1t will
come from personal and corpor-
alton income taxes, the other 81
billion from the 5 per cent Vic
tory tax which your boss Will
start deducting from your pay
envelope after Jan. l If your
earnings are at the rate OF more
than 1924 a year, which is $o2

This victory tax business Is
important. The Treasury De-
partment estimates 1t will hit

thought the money will be col
lected in 1913.
The Bureau of Internal Reeve
nue., meaning the Treasury, had
no experience in col
lecting anything like this Vic
tory tax, but the Treasury has a
whole year in which to get out
the bugs, for though the money
starts coming in when the en-
ployers remit for the first quar-
ter of 1943, the money won't De
accounted for till the victory
taxpayers file their returns III

of what credits he is entitled to
for purchase of war bonds and
stamps. The resulting confusion
may be rather terrible, but the
Internal Revenue boys figure
they'll get it all Strengthened out
somehow before the deadline.
COLLECTION COSTS
The estimates of So billion
from Victory tax and So billion
from income taxes for 1943 are
net - that is, the amount the
government will get after the
costs of collecting the taxes have
been deducted. No official esti-
mates have as yet been made as
to what all these costs of collec-
ton will be, but a fair guess is
that they will come close to $50
million. This figures at 8Oc to
collect every 500 in tax reve-
nue..
The history of the costs of COL
lecting the federal tax dollar
gives a pretty good picture of
the country's financial prosper
ity. Back in 1866 after the Civil
War, When the country was
pretty we'll shot, it cost STAT to
collect 500 in taxes. The cost
gradually went down until the
income tax law first went into
effect in 1912, when the cost
of collecting 500 was Sill.
This figure declined to 33c in
1918.
This was an all-time low, and
it can be explained by the fact
that the tax collections we're ex-
tremely heavy in the war years.
The exact reverse of that situ-
alton developed in 1882 at the
depth of the depression when
tax collections were low and the
costs of collecting each $lOO rose
to $2.17.
Since 1892 the costs Of tax col
lecting have been declining
gradually. In 1941, with total
tax collections of over 81 bill
lion, the costs of collecting were
SOS million, or about 89c on the
S10O. In 1912, with collections
of $13 billion, costs were STA
million, or SIC per 500. In spite
of the innovation of the 5 per
cent Victory tax on wages,
Treasury experts believe that
1943 costs of tax collection will
be held down, though the real
test of that will come in 1914
when all these Victory tax re-
turns have to be filed and ex-
amined.
REVENUE EMPLOYEES
Back in 1865 there were about
44OO employees in the federal
governments tax department. In
1912, in spite of the introduction
of the federal income tax, the
number of employees in the Blu
reau of Internal Revenue was
only 1000, but by 1918 it had
risen to $500 because of the
problems presented by the war
taxes. In 1882 the number of
employees was IL, ZOO, in 1941 it
was $1,000 and today it is about
10000.
The next tax laws provisions
require that all tax forms will
have to be revised, and because
of the late date of passage, the
printing presses will have to
grind day and night from now
until the job is done, some time
during the first quarter of 1943.
An estimated 80 million income
tax returns will be filed before
March Is, 1943, but that means
