posal.
Under the Robertson-Forand bill,
which went to the senate following
bouse action, all taxpayers would
be exempted from paying the 6
per cent normal and first surtax of
13 per cent on their 1942 Incomes
Those with taxable income over the
13 per cent surtax, however, w-ould
have to pay balance of the 1942
tax. In that case, their first two
payments this year would be ap-
plied against their remaining liabil-
ity, arid if they still had a balance
outstanding, they could clean it up in
two later payments.
As to 1943 taxes, the Robertson-
Forand bill provides for a 29 per
cent withholding tax against wages
and salaries after exemptions have j
been estimated.
