Persons claiming more than that sum would be re- uuired to list them, as at present, Persons with less than 5000 inc come claiming more than 10 per cent deductions also would be conn pelled to list them.
 Tho new normal tax would be computed on the basis of 3 per cent of taxable income-grosS income minus the presumptive deduction and a $500 personal exemption.
 Tn computing surtaxes, the in- divIdual would And his taxable in- come by deducting the 10 per cent prcSumptive deduction and $500 for himself and each dependent, Thus a single person would have only n $500 exemption. A married person with no children would have a $i 900 exemption, and Q married person with two children Q $2,00O exemp- ton.
 From this basis, the plan con templates three methods of report ing income and taxes due:
 1. A taxpayer with less than S5, 900 income, not more than $l00 of which was from sources not subject to withholding, and who does not claim more than the presumptive 10 per cent for deductions, could take the withholding receipt he gets from his employer, list any depend- ents on the reverse side of the re- ceipt and sent 1t to the internal rev. enue collector. The collector then would make the necessary computa- tons to determine whether the tax payers withholding covered what he owed. If additional taxes were found due, the collector would mall him a bill. If his taxes were found to be overpsId. the taxpayer would get e refund.
 i 2. The taxpayer with income less than $5 900 who claims more than the presumptive 10 per cent for de- auctions or who has more than $l00 income from withholding sources would Ale a one page re- turn. He would list his income. deductions and taxes withheld and compute from an accompanying table the amount he owes.
 3. Persons with more than $5,00C income would use new short form which the committee said would be even simpler than tax returns used prior to the advent of victory taxes and the withholding plan.
