Income Tax Returns
In March May Reach
$500,000,000
Employes of State and
Local Governments Must
Pay for First Time
By the Associated Press.
Treasury offlcials figured today
that Federal Income tax returns,
due within five weeks, should bring
in $550,000,000 during March. *
That is their conservative esti
mate, but profitable corporation re
ports now brightening the financial
pages haye given some experts hope
for even more.
The $550,000,000 would be $50,000,
000 more than was collected last
March, but still Is about $175,000,000
less than the post-war banner month
of March, 1038.
me returns, aue Dy miamgni
March 15, will include, for the first
time, taxes from the more prosper
ous among the 2,000,000 State and
local government employes. The
'total from their 1939 Income has
been estimated at slightly less than
$20,000,000, but only one-fourth will
be due on March 15.
The tax forms for individuals will
be substantially the same as in re
cent years but corporation returns
will be somewhat different. The un
distributed profits tax is out. The
tax on corporations earning more
than $25,000 is changed from a slid
ing rate of 16% to 19 per cent to a
flat 18 per cent. Corporations earn
ing lefs'than $25,000 still will pay at
the 12% to 16 per cent rate -of last
year.
In his January budget message,
the President said he feared that
the revisions would cause some im
pairment of revenue.
