Page 8 Heppner Gazette Times, Thursday; August 22, 1957 New Stat Income Tax Withholding Rates Due Sept. 1 A now state Income tax with holding schedule, based on the new withholding rates establish ed by the last legislature, has been published by the Oregon State Tax Commission. The new rates are Intended to closely ap proximate the actual tax liabil ity of each taxpayer, taking into account the amount of his sal ary and the number of his de pendents. The new withholding rates are to apply to all paychecks receiv ed by employees beginning Sep tember 1. according to S. W. Horn, Tax Commission chairman. He points out that the rates were raised from 1 to 2 in 1956 but the recent legislature authorized to Commission to publish tables that would include allowances for exemptions so that the am ount withheld would more nearly equal the tax liability of each taxpayer. The newly published tables al so give instructions to employees preferring to use a percentage system for their own convenience, to do this a formula is contained in the publication that will en able the employer to compute the percentage withholding for the various pay periods and salaries. Examples of the new rates show that a single man with a monthly salary of $500 will have $25.00 withheld from his check. For a married man with four ex emption credits the amount would be $14.70. A married man listing five exemptions and $100 weekly income would have $1.70 withheld from his paycheck. All of the amounts shown in the tables are based on the new rates of Income taxation approved at the last legislature. The tables are being sent to al! employers currently listed on the Tax Commission's mailing list. Others desiring copies should ad dress a request to the Tax Com mission in Salem, or ask for a copy at any of the Commission's field offices, Horn said. o FORMER RESIDENT VISITS Mr. and Mrs. Percy Levessee of Portland were here Monday hav ing brought, Miss Opal Brl'ggs home after a weeks visit in Port land.
