mint of the United States
Tbe one hundred and seventeenth lection of
tbe act of Jane 30, 1S34, provides that, to cases
where tbe salary or other compensation paid
to any person In tbo employment or eervlee of
the United Stales shall not exceed the rate of
six hundred dollars per annum, or shall be by
lees, or uncertain or irregular iu tue amount
or In the time during which the same shall
have accrued or been earned, such salary or
other compensation shall bo Included In eetl
matloc; tbe annual gains, profit, or toco ma of
tho person to whom the same shall bivo boon
paid.
Tho Instructions heretofore issued to pay
matters and disbursing officers must, there
fore, be so far mod I tied as to conform to tba
change In the law and tbe ruling that tbe tax
should be withheld trom all payments to per
sons employed by tbe day wbeu the compensa
tion exceeded two dollars per day Is a on ailed.
Hereafter no tax will bo withhold from per
sons who are employed by the day and paid by
tbo day, no matter what may bo the rate of
compensation) and no tax will be withheld
from persons employed by the day and paid at
the end of the month, unless the amount earned
during the month exceeds tbe sum of fifty dol
lars. When tho amount earned daring the
mouiu aoee execou mo gamui uuj uuur, vuu
tax of five per centum must be withheld from
tbo amount In excess.
When a poraon la employed bv the month at
a rate of compensation exceeding; fifty dollars,
the tax must bo withheld from the amount in
excess of that rate, even though tbe payment
Is for such a fraction of a month that tbo
amount due Is kss thau fifty dollars. Thus, If
a person whose salary is one nun area aouars
per month Is emjloyed but one quarter of a
given month, tbe tax must be withheld upon
tbo sum of twelve dollars and a half.
All unonnu received bv anv person in the
service or employment of tbe United States
whlcn are exempt irom eaiary tax unaer mo
above provisions must be returned to tbe aa
seasor of the district In which such person re
sides, in tbe same manner as income from any
other source.
A special exception to the rulo above estab
lished Is made In the !Vi3d lection of the act,
osiifh nifividM that rtavments of tMto money
shall be regarded as Income froii ea'arica, and
tho duty thereon shall bo adjured and collect
ed In like manner. Th lax must, therefore,
be withheld from all p" utnts of prUo money,
a hpretoforo. and such payiiu a may be de
ducted from Income, as provide1 nsoctlonU7.
