Mr.. BabsOn-piOneer in The field

that the supply of raw materials

Majority Will
Gain Out OF 2
Tax Changes
Cut In Income Levies
And Rise In Social
Security Go Into Effect
On January LIST.
BY Associated Press

About five of every six taxpayers
will wind up with a net gain as a
result of two big tax changes tax
ing effect January LIST, a survey
showed this week.
On the gain side, for taxpayers.
is an average 10 per cent reduc-
ton in individual income taxes.
The cut, the first since 1913, will
be felt Immediately by some 49,
100000 workers whose income
taxes are deducted from pay
checks. About 100000 others
will feel it in March, 1855, when
they file their 1854 taxes, or when
they make quarterly payments.
On the other side, an increase in
social security taxes also will take
effect OH the same date-from ~
to 2 per cent on incomes up to
$4,000 annually.
This tax, too, will be reflected
Immediately in those little paw
check marks that indicate payroll
withhOldings. About $4,000. 600
workers are subject to social Sc
CuAANy WAIAAliOlulil6 taxes.
Will Mean A Loss
What about the net effect of the
two changes? Overall, the income
tax reduction will mean an annual
revenue loss of about $4,000. OOO,-
600. The social security increase
will be almost half that amount.
But for individual taxpayers.
there are varying results. Gen
orally speaking, the workers who
pay the least in income taxes
becauce of low incomes or large
number of dependents-will take
a loss in take-hOme pay.
Their social security increase
will more than offset their income
tax decrease. Rough estimates are
that more than 100000 tax
payers fall in this category. while
about 50,000,000 will benefit from
the change.
