WASHINGTON, June 8.
(UP)-The pay as you-go
tax bili-a bill that forgives
approximately $6,533, 100000
in income taxes but still will
raise $3,006,OO0,OOO more revenue in
the next 13 months than the pres
ent laW-Was on President Roose-
velts desk today awaiting his sig
nature.
The greatest amount of forgive
ness benefits the. largest single tax
paying group in the nation-those
with incomes rangina en- $1,000
to $4,000 a year.
1t is estimated that there are
17,363000 taxpayers in that income
bracket and the forgiveness for
them amounts to $1,650000,0 900. The
forgiveness for the go individuals
who made more than $1000,000 each
in 1912 is estimated at $50 100000
FINAL HURDLE
The bill passed its last legisla-
tive hurdle late yesterday when the
senate approved the house-senate
conference committee compromise
by the wide margin of 81 to 10
Thus ended long, bitter congress
sional fight that had its inception
last summer when Beardsley Ruml
chairman of the New York Federal
Reserve bank, went before the SEN
ate finance committee to propose
that taxpayers be put on q pay-as
you-go basis.
Everyone agreed that Ruml's idea
was good, but the method of getting
taxpayers current was where the
dispute arose. Ruml proposed skip
ping a full years taxes. The ad-
ministration fought that at every
turn, contending that it would ben.
eft the wealthy more than it WoulC
other taxpayers.
The compromise was the result
! 1t provides 100 per cent forgiveness
! for all taxpayers owing up to $5t
ON one years earnings-either 1874.
or l943, whichever is loWer-aWard.
$50 flat abatement for those oW-
ing up to $66.67, and grants rs PEI
cent forgiveness of those owing
more than $6667
TWO PROVISIONS
The bill contains two anti wind
fall provisions. One captures the
difference in taxes where an indi-
vidual's l943 earnings are less thar
1912 income. The other applies tc
taxpayers whose 1912 or 1943 earn
ings exceed a so-called normal
year by more than $4,000, reflect
ing war profits. In that event only
rs per cent of a so-called normal
years taxes is forgiven. The NOR
mar' year is 1887, 1888, 1889 OIL
194O-Whichever is higher.
Under the old law the treasury
had expected to collect $9,815, 100000
on 1912 incomes.
