THE GARDEN ISLAND TUESDAY, JAN. 3, 5922
HERE ARE MAIN
CHANGES MADE IN
REVENUE LAW
MISS ROSE AKO
WAS HOSTESS AT A
CHRISTMAS EVE PARTY
Enactment of new revenue legisla
tion has brought to the offices of
collector of internal revenue a flood
of inquiries regarding various pro
visii ns. The revenue act of VJ21 be
came effective November 23. 1921.
"unless otherwise provided for ac
cording to announcement from the
local revenue office.
To avoid error in the preparation
of their returns and later difficul
ties with the bureau of internal re
venue, taxpayers are advised to care
fully mite the changes and when
they become effective.
The excess profits tax Is repealed
ns of January 1. 1022. The rates
for 15)21 are unchanged.
The surtax for the calendar year
1921 are unchanged, and range from
1 per cent on the amount of net in
come between $.r000 and $0000 to G5
per cent on the amount of net in
come in excess $1,000,000. For the
calendar year 1D22 the surtax rates
range from 1 per cent on the am
ount of net income between $6000
and $10000 to 50 per cent on the
amount by which the net income ex
coeds $200,000.
Exemption Changes
The exemption allowed for a de
pendent is increased from $200 to
$400. Married persons living with
husband or wits and heads of fam
ilies are allowed a personal exemp
tion of S2.S00 (instead of $2,000)
unless the net income is In excess
of $.r,000, in which case the person
al exemption is only $2,000. The act
provides that in no case shall the
reduction of the personal exemption
from $2.f00 to $2,000 operate to in
crease tho tax which would be pay
aide if the exemption were $2..rn0 by
more than the amount of the net in
come in excess of $r.,000. This is to
overcome tho disparity in the case
of two taxpayers, one of whom is
just within the lower $2000 exemp
tion and the other just within the
higher $2-500 exemption.
Single persons and married per
som-t not living with husband or wife
are allowed an exemption of $1000
Non resident aliens are allowed a
single personal exemption of $1000
Persons having gross incomes for
15)21 of $5000 or over are required
to make a return, regardlescs of the
amount of net income.
rrovisions are made tor the re
peal as of January 1, 15)22, of the
tax on stockholders of a personal
service corporation as such. After
that date such corporations are to
be taxed in the same manner as
other , corporations.
The income tax on corporations
for the calendar year 1922 and there
after is increased from 10 to 12
per cent. The $2000 exemption here
tofore allowed corporations is to be
granted only to those whose net in
come is $25,000 or less.
Many persons are under the im
pression that the taxes on ice
cream, soft drinks, etc., monthly re
turns of which are required, have
been repealed with the enactment
of the new act. These taxes remain
in force until the end of tho calen
dar year 1921.
Tax on Admissions
No change Is made in the tax on
admissions, except that after Janu
ary 1, 1922 there will be no tax
where admission is 10 cents or less.
Effective January 1, 15-22, the follow
ing taxes : ie also abolished: on mu
sical instruments, sporting goods:
chewing gum, portable electric fans
thermos bottles, fur articles, pleas
ure boats and pleasure canoes (un
less sold for more than $100), toil
et articles medicines and numerous
articles of apparel.
On and after January 1, 1922, the
tax on tho various works of art is
reduced from 10 per cent to 5 per
cent, tho tax on candy from 5 per
cent to 3 per cent, and tho tax on
carpets, rugs, trunks, valises, purs
es, funs, etc.. from 10 per cent of
sales price in excess of specified
amounts to 5 per cent of sales price
of specified amounts.
The tax on parcel post packages
Is eliminated, effective January 1.
1922.
The new act provides that no tax
payer shall be subjected to unneces
sary examinations or investigations
and only one inspection of his books
of accounts shall be made for each
taxable year unless the taxpayer ri
quests otherwise, or the commission
er notifies the taxpayer in writing
that an additional inspection is lie
cessary.
The period for filing returns on
the calendar year basis is from
March 1 to March 15, 1922. This year
at last, the tax money may be paid
In full at the time of filing tho re
turn or in four equal iustollments
due on or before .March 15, Juno 15
September 15 and December 15.
Copies of the revenue act may be
had on application to the revenu
office.
Miss Mew Yee Au Hoy was the
motif for a big Christmas Eve din
ner given by .Miss Hose Ako at the
Waimea Hotel.
A great long table with its holi
day ornamentation of green and red
composed of brilliant Hawaiian hol
ly berries and poinsettas and bright
ened by quaint little Christmas place
cards, made a most attractive table.
After dinner serenading was tho
diversion of the hour. Miss Hose
Ako's guests were Miss Belle Tsark,
Miss Margueiiate l'ua Wright, Miss
Daisy Chang, Miss Irene Chang,
Miss Emma Luke, Miss Ethel Ching.

DELEGATE KUHIO ILL;
MAY POSTPONE
TRIP
Word comes from Honolulu that
Delegate Kuhio may postpone his
trip to Washington on account of
ill health. He has been confined to
his home for some time under the
care of a physician.
a letter to the commissioner of fish
eries at Washington, he stated he
had never seen, even in the virgin
streams of the Cascades, more fish
ihan those in the prols in the Kauai
streams. He stated that there were
literally dozens of them in each
pool, many as long as ten inches and
large and fat.
The closed season for these fish
will continue until July 1, 1923 and
shortly prior to that date the com
mission will determine whether an
open season should be declared.
Some of the fish now in the streams
should spawn in January and Feb
ruary, while others will spawn at
other periods during the next year.
Provided all goes well during 1923
the commission will allow fishermen
to take fish from these streams prob
ably for two or three months.
mere is notning uotng at pres
ent with regard to bass. There have
been applications for the placing of
bass in the reservoirs in the Kouala,
Hawaii, district, and Mr. Kelly is
now arranging for nets with which
bass can be taken to send there. He
plans to take the bulk of them from
the Wahiawa dam.
One good stream has been found
by Mr. Kelly on Hawaii. As far as
temperature and abundance of food
is concerned, it is as suitable for
trout as any of the Kauai streams.
Two streams on Maui have also been
declared suitable for trout. Thus
far no streams have been found on
Oahu suitable for these fish.
Unless your spending plans are on
paper, your financial future is lia
ble to be wholly on paper. Make a
budget this Thrift Week.
