collector is the last person you'd
think would be worrying today.
But businessmen say that shrin-
king corporate profits are cutt-
ing into the u. S. Trcasury's take
from industry, and this drop may
offset its greater bite on the
poc2tboolSs of individuals.
Ii this proves TO be SO, it means
that private citizens will bear a
greater percentage share this year
Of the burden of supporting the
government, even through the in
come tax rates aren't going up
again.
Tax receipts from both business
and individuals in March came TO
10 billion dollars But the treasury
is reported to have expected the
big payment month to bring in II
billion dollars.
Treasury Secretary Snyder says
he still expects, when he closes
his books juno Sc on the pre-
sent fiscal year, to record
total of 62A billion dollars in
taxes. as estimated in the budget
in January. Ii he collects as mucn
this May and juno as nc did in.
those months last year, he'll make
it.
Individual income tax payments
are unqucstionably greater this
year as you must know As long
as individual incomes stay high,
tho new rates will bring a golden
flow 10 the treasury. But many
think that the treasury ovcrcSti-
mated corporate earnings and
therefore the amount il would get
in income taxes from business.
So far this year most companies
are showing lower gross earnings
on which income and excess profit
taxes are levied And most COM
panics are setting aside less money
now for tax payments than the .
oid at Inns tllnc q year ago.
Total dollar sales of manulac-
uring companies in the first three
months OF this year ran one per
cent above a year ago, the Nat
ional City Bank of New York says
in its May letter issued today. But
it notes that total costs Of doing
business (before taxes) rose four
per cent and, therefore, gross
corporate earnings on which to
levy income taxes were lower.
Those companies that report how
much they set aside, the bank says.
reveal that II per cent less money
is going to the treasury, than
year ago. So far, these reports
show a total of 165 million dlIars
