(Spl.) Col lector of Internal Revenue J. W. Ma loney toda$ revealed that the su preme court decision upholding the validity of trie soctat security act prompted approximately 800 delin quent taxpayers In his district to make returns under the provisions or titlea VIII and IX of that act. The latest payments totaled $1,059.325 57. Plguies In the collector's office showed that 11.309 employers filed treasury form SSI In behalf of them selves1 and their employees, paying 373.093.10 In taxej on the wa;es earned in this district during '.he month of May. This tax Is levied under title VIII of the social security Act, which imposes an Income tax of one per cent on wages of "every taxable individual" and on "every taxable employer" an excise tax of one per cent on the wages he pays each of his employees. In estimating that an additional 3000 employers were still Ignoring the fact that they must pay the -one per cent wage tax due from every em ployer and employee. Collector Ma loney pointed out that the law makes the employer alone subject to penal ties for failure to Uv returns and make payments. The employer la also responsible for the collection of his employee's share of the tax, deduct ing It from the weekly wages paid. "Employers of eight or more per sons who have not yet filed treasury form G40 and paid the excise tax of one per cent on their 1936 pay roll, a called for under title IX of the social security act, have already In curred a 10 per cent penalty," Mr. Maloney said. "There .Is no excuse for continued delinquency under ti tle IX. Ample notice Is given em ployers of eight or more that this tax was due from them, and them lone, at the latest, last April 1 . The employee does not pay any of this tax. . "Only 3016 employers have palC taxes under the provisions of title IX and I estimate that this falls short at least 30 per cent of the ac tual number of employers of eight or more persons In this district. Whesi my deputies. In the course of their Investigations, discover these delinquents not only the tax but the penalties will be assessed against them. It would be well for this type of employer to remember that offi cers of corporations are counted as employees for the purpose of taxa tion."
