100000 Income.
ID Married man with no depend
ents, with business income of 81 ,OO0,-
600 in ls43, $500,O00 in 1912, and
whose highest income in 1887 to 1910
was $4,000.
In this instance, the 1912 tax
would have been $414,O0O, and it is
assumed he paid the first two in
stallments through June IS, 1943,
or total of $207,0 900.
On September Is, he will be re-
quired to file a declaration of esti-
mated tax for 1943. On an income
Of 81 100000, the 1943 tax would be
$899,000 He takes credit for the
$207, 900 paid on the 1912 tax through
June IS, which leaves balance due
for 1943 Of $692,000. One-half this
amount would be paid September
IS and one-half December IS.
On March Is, 1914, he would file
his final return for the year and
make any necessary adjustments for
overpayment or nderpayment.
AT that time there would become

Windfall Tax Applicable.
Since the abated years income
exceeds the highest base years in
come by more than 10000, the
windfall tax becomes applicable,
and is computed in connection with
the final return for 1943. The abated
amount of the 1912 tax (75 per cent
Of $414, 900, or $310,500 is compared
with a hypothetical tax on the
highest base years income plus
$4,000 100000 plus $4,000, or
100000, computed at the 1912
rates.
The resulting hypothetical tax,
which is supposed to represent dor
comparative purposes) the tax on
normal pre-war years income,
would be $4,000. This $4,000 be-
comes the limit Of the amount to
be abated, instead of the $3105OO
(75 per cent of the lower years taxi.
The excess Of the $310,500 over the
$4,000, or $246,5 is collected as
windfall tax. It is due March IS,
1914, but at the option Of the tax
payer may be paid in four annual
inStallments.
If paid in installments, interest
is charged at the rate of per cent,
and the first installment becomes

On September IS. he will be re-

(zero) will be increased by the ex-

liability for 1943, he will take credit
for the amount paid on the 1912
tax up to June IS.
If only the first two installments
were paid, aggregating 81 900, there
will be q balance due for 1943 OF
