LOWER BRACKETS HIT

The difference between the Brit
ish and American federal income
taxes is particularly noticeable in
the lower brackets. A married
man with no dependents and 81 ,00C
net income pays Sill taxes in
Briton, whereas next year the
same man will pay SIS here. The
Briton would have postwar
credit of $40 and a net liability of
SIS. On a $1,000 net income, the
Briton pays $505. while the Ameri-
can will pay $500: their respective
postwar refunds are $32 and S127
leaving net liabilities of $1SS and
1878. respectively.
Some Americans also have TO
pay state income taxes. thus bring
ing their total taxes closer TO those
of the British. Even in the highest
brackets. however, the British
rates are higher.

British Taxes
14Per Cent Over
Levels in u. 5.
Only About Quarter
Of Income Here Goes
for Government. War
BY CHARLES b. DEGGES
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

WASHINGTON, Nov. is (UP).
-Britons pay about ID per cent
more of their national income in
taxes than do Americans in their
effort to pay out of current income
as much of the costs of war as
possible.
The best comparisons that can
be drawn, on the basis of statistics
from the British information serv-
ice and the United States treasury,
indicate that 40 per cent of the
total income of British people goes
into taxes of all kinds, while about
26 per cent of Americas total
income Is taken for taxes-federal,
state and local.
In dollars and cents. this coun-
try is paying roughly S3l 900 000.-
900 out of $4,000. 600. 900
national income. according to the
treasury.
The figures are for the present
fiscal year. which ends next June
80. The treasury estimates that 1t
will collect So, 900. 600. 900 in fed
eral taxes during this period, state
governments $4,000, 100000 and
local governments $4,000, 900, 900.
The estimates include new levies
under the recently-enacted tax
bill. These new levies will have
greater effect in the next fiscal
year. but meantime national in
come also. is expected to increase.
WE FINANCE MORE
The difference in taxes explains
in part how Britain is able to
finance half her war costs from
income, while the United
States meets only fourth of its
war bill from revenue. This means
that Britain must repay in the
future only half her war costs.
while the United States borrows
of her war funds.
To the ordinary taxpayer. the
two-country revenue picture means
shat the average BritoB pays about
twice as much for a pack OF cigar
cts: a great deal more for his
bottle of liquor. and proportion
ately higher sums for his enter
tainment, jewelry. toilet goods and
