WASHINGTON Sundry ; tax
payers, including business and
travelers, telephone users, . camera,
fans and cabaret patrons, arer al
ready getting, a taste, of uncle
Sam's new tax medicine in addi
tion to the victory tax, which
arrived with the new yearf ! ,
Increased excise levies on tele
phone tolls, train,; airplane and
bus transportation,' cigars and- -
carets, distilled spirits and wines
went into effect on November rt.
Also a tax of 4 cents a.short ton
on coal transportatioa and of v$
per: cent on freight and express
shipments. -A' jj
Amateur photographers are ,hit
by a sharp advance in the tax on
cameras weighing not more than
4 pounds, the levy going up from
10 to 25 per cent. The tax on
photographic films plates and
sensitized paper has been increas
ed from 10 to IS per cent xf the
price. ; ' '
Hep cats, and perhaps devotees
of the old-fashioned waltz, should
be interested in a new revision of
the law which dosed a loophole in
the cabaret tax. The S per cent
cabaret tax is levied on the
amount you pay for admission,
refreshments or service even if no
increase is made in the charges by
reason of furnishing dancing or
other entertainment
The federal charge on telephone
tolls is now 20 per cent of the toll.
The old tax was per cent on
calls costing under 25 cents and
a nickel for each 50 cents of
hieher-Driced calls. The rate of
tax on local telephone service has
been increased from 6 to 10 per
cent.
The tax on railroad, bus and
airplane tickets and for special
seating or sleeping accomoda
tions in connection with transpor
tation has been raised from 5 to
10 per cent.
But there are few bright spots.
believe it or not, in the generally
dismal tax outlook for 1943
The -most outstanding bit of re
lief is designed to alleviate the
burden on those who have had to
pay heavy medical bills. The new
law allows a limited deduction for
the medical care of the taxpayer
his wife and his dependents. It
induder amounts paid for acci
dent and health insurance as well
as payments for doctors, dentists,
nurses, hospital facilities and med
ical supplies
However, only those medical
expenses which exceed S per cent
of the net income of the taxpayer
are deductible.
The maximum deduction al
lowed for medical expenses is
$2,500 in the case of a head of a
family or a husband and wife fil
ing joint returns. In all other cases
the top deduction is $L250.
Another innovation is the elim
ination of the requirement that
returns be made under oath. A
simple affirmation as to correct
ness of the return will take the
place of swearing to returns be
fore a notary public or a similar
officer.
The new law also reduces the
burden somewhat on persons in
