Tax Withholding Begins
Fridoy in Maryland

To get a general idea Of how
much will be deducted weekly
from your pay, multiply your
number of dependents Gnclud-
ing yourselD times SIT, Subtract
this from your weekly wage, and
multiply the result by 1.S per
cent.
For example. a married man
with no children making $50 a
week would get a dependent al
Ilowance of $34, leaving $46 in
taxable income. His deduction
from his pay at 1.8 per cent
would be roughly SO cents q
week.
More Revenue Expected
The State expects to realize
lat least 8 million dollars a year
i'm extra revenue by having in
come taxes collected for it BY
employers. In addition to catch
ing up with any persons who
may not have been sending in
their taxes, State officials also
can better estimate the revenue
expected within a given year
from the tax.
In recent years, approximately
one-third of Maryland's tax
payers have chosen to pay on a
Quarterly instalment basis. And
it was tax for the previous cal
endar year they were paying.
| Under the pay-as-you-go sys-
TEN, the State will get its in
come tax revenue in the year it
is earned. Those who are still
paying up their 1854 taxes have
until next April Is to complete
them, as well as pay the tax on
money earned the first SIX
months of this year.
The State also will be getting
nearly 81 million more income
tax revenue from corporations
in the fiscal year which begins
Friday. The corporation rate was
boosted from 4 to AZ per cent
by the last Legislature.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. June 27 up.
Most Maryland taxpayers will
find their paychecks a little
lighter next week.
The states new income tax
Withholding system goes into ef-
feet Friday. with employers tax
ing over the responsibility of
seeing that the controller gets
your income tax.
The new withholding system
will not apply to professional
persons, farmers and other self
employed taxpayers, nor to Mary
land residents employed in the
District or Virginia. Instead of
withholding, they will pay their
two per cent Maryland income
tax in quarterly installments
based on advance estimates. The
first estimate and quarterly pay
ment will be due September Is.
Some to Feel Pinch
For single persons and married
couples with less than two chill
dren. a slight tax pinch will ac-
company the payroll deduction
For families with two children
the rate will be the same they're
paying now. Those with more
than two children will get a
slight reduction.
That's because deductions for
dependents will be a fiat $500 per
person under the new system
Previously a single person could
claim $1,000 for himself, and
married couples could claim
81 900 for the husband and 81 ,00C
for the wife. A deduction of $500
each was allowed for other de-
pendents.
After July l, a single person
will pay the State 50 more tax
a year and a married couple
with no other dependents will
pay 81 more. Those with one
child will pay 81 more annually
A couple with three or more
children or other dependents
will pay So less for each of them
over the year.
The fiat $500 allowance was
decided on to simplify proce-
dures for withholding the tax
and at the same time to boost
the tax's overall yield.
Tax Tables Mailed
The controllers Office h
mailed tax tables to all employers
to set up machinery for the
withholding system, similar to
that now in effect for Federal
income taxes.
These show how much to de-
duct from your pay whether you
receive it daily, weekly, biweekly,
Isemi-monthly, quarterly or an
Inually.
