Because of the prospect of a
tax reduction in 1868, it would
be sound tax strategy for many
people to shift some income
from 1852 to 1868 and to move
into 1862 deductible expendi-
lures which otherwise might be
held until 1868. This will re-
duce 1862 taxable income and
raise 1868 income. If the 1868
tax rates are cut, the result
would be a tax saving.
Here are ways you can man
age this.
If you are in a service in
dustry, don't press for all pay
,inents this year. Let some bills
run over and be paid in 1868.
q If you sell property at a gain,
don't take more than 80 per
cent of the selling price. for this
will allow you To report the in
come only as you get the bal
ance of your payments. If you
take anything over 80 per cent,
you'll have to report the entire
profit at once; even a Il per
cent payment would disqualify
you from using the installment
method of reporting your profit.
i.-f
Delay Cashing Bonds
If you plan to cash in United
States savings bonds, delay
your cash-in until January
1858. Then the interest you
have earned on these bonds
won't be taxed until 1868.
If you have deductible ex-
,penses which you normally
would meet in January 1865
bills for taxes, interest, medical
care, the like-See If you can
pay them before December 81,
1862. You can pay bills for in
terest and taxes even If they
aren't due until next year. As
an illustration, sey you have a
real estate tax bill Of which
half is due in October, half in
April. You can prepay the
April 1868 installment in De-
cember.
If your bushes Is a corpora
ton, your goal should be clear.
If your corporations income is
over $4,000 in 1862 and in
1868 or under $4,000 in 1862
and in 1868, you should try to
throw income into 1868 to get
the benefit of any corporation
tax rate reduction.
The one significant exception
to this general goal covers cor
porations which will have under
$4,000 in one of these two
years and over $4,000 in the
other. The reason is that in
come up to $25, 900 is taxed at
80 per cent, while income over
$4,000 is taxed at So per cent
a 22-per-cent difference.
Even assuming corporation
tax rates are cut in 1868, this
% point spread would not be
narrowed to less than II points
at best. Thus, the overriding
aim Of corporations should be
to try to shift income from the
over $4,000 year to the under
SIS 900 year-whether that is
1862 or 1963-in order to save
the % or II point spread.

If you are a self-employed
business or professional man,
you will be able, beginning with

laws passed this year. The law,
though, limits the amount of
the annual contribution which
you can set aside for yourself
to 10 per cent Of your net
earned income, but under no
circumstances to more than

The effect Of this is to over
