titled to a refund of $54.91. Sub
tract the latter from the former
and you get $69.89, which Is the
real amount of Jim's Victory tax.
Jim can realize on this $54.91 re-
fund on March Is, 1914, by enter
ing this sum as a credit claimed
in advance on the payment of his
regular income tax on his 1913
earnings.
At Jim's salary of $50 per
week, gross, his regular income
tax would be around $3.50 q year
say $164.91 to make it easy.
But since he is already credited
with having paid $54.91 too much
Victory tax, Jim can deduct
this $54.91 from the $164.91 and
he can get by with an income
tax payment of only $110; neat.
What the Victory tax amounts
to, therefore, is part payment OF
income tax in advance. It light
ems the income tax you pay year.
after-next, by making you pay q
little more the year before. May
be that's one reason for calling 1t
a Victory tax. It's q victory for

to have his troubles when he tries
to explain all this complicated
business. Talk about headaches.

The easiest way to under
stand this new 5 per cent VIC
tory tax and what it may do to
you is to take a typical case and
try to spell it out to show what
happens to the S per cent the
boss will start taking out OF
your pay envelope after Jan. /,
l943. The typical case will show
how you will get refunds, If any,
for this deduction, and it shows
how you get credit for the
amount you subscribe for war
bonds and stamps. for the amount
you pay in life insurance pre-
miums, and for the amount you
pay on debts contracted prior to
Sept. 1, 1912.
So take the case of one James
(Jim) Dandy, married, two chill
dren, earning $50 a week all
through 1943, buying his home
and paying for it at the rate OF
$50 a month, half Of it being in
terest and the other half pay
ment on the principal. Assume
that Jim Dandy carries life in
surance to the amount of 5000,
which costs him 500 a year in
premium. Assume also that Jim
is having 10 per cent of his pay
deducted weekly for the pur-
chase of war savings bonds.
