This rule updates the Federal, State, and Puerto Rico tax tables for calculating the relocation income tax (RIT) allowance, to reflect changes in Federal, State, and Puerto Rico income tax brackets and rates. The Federal, State, and Puerto Rico tax tables contained in this rule are for use in calculating the 2007 RIT allowance to be paid to relocating Federal employees.
Effective Date: This final rule is effective April 9, 2007.
Applicability date: This final rule provides tax information for filing 2006 Federal and State income taxes.
The Regulatory Secretariat (VIR), Room 4035, GSA Building, Washington, DC 20405, telephone (202) 501-4755, for information pertaining to status or publication schedules. For clarification of content, contact Ed Davis, Office of Governmentwide Policy, Travel Management Policy (MTT), Washington, DC 20405, telephone (202) 208-7638. Please cite FTR Amendment 2007-02, FTR case 2007-302.
Section 5724b of Title 5, United States Code, provides for reimbursement of substantially all Federal, State, and local income taxes incurred by a transferred Federal employee on taxable moving expense reimbursements. Policies and procedures for the calculation and payment of the RIT allowance are contained in the Federal Travel Regulation (41 CFR part 302-17). GSA updates Federal, State, and Puerto Rico tax tables for calculating RIT allowance payments yearly to reflect changes in Federal, State, and Puerto Rico income tax brackets and rates.
This amendment also provides a tax table necessary to compute the RIT allowance for employees who received reimbursement for relocation expenses in 2006.
The Paperwork Reduction Act does not apply because this final rule does not impose recordkeeping or information collection requirements, or the collection of information from offerors, contractors, or members of the public that require the approval of the Office of Management and Budget under 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.

For earnings over $100,000, and for filing statuses other than those above, please consult actual tax tables. See 2007 State Tax Handbook, pp. 255-270, CCH, Inc., http://tax.cchgroup.com/​Books/​default.5 This rate applies only to those individuals certifying that they will file under a single or married filing separately status within the states where they will pay income taxes.6 The income tax rate for Rhode Island is 25 percent of Federal income tax rates, including capital gains rates and any another other special rates for other types of income. Rates shown as a percent of Federal income tax liability must be converted to a percent of income as provided in § 302-17.8(e)(2)(iii). Effective for the 2006 tax year, tax payers may elect to compute income tax liability based on a graduated rate schedule or an alternative flat tax equal to 8%.
