tribution to the federal con
fers is based on income data
and on an unofficial break
down of Treasuray depart
ment figures, which give the
receipts from the state.
They show that inaUvlduif.
income taxes collected in tree
state litjst year came to $897,
000,000. As a consequence, restate,
of Jackson county contrlWed
some 3.85 per cent of the
state total.
Because incosne gairli were
recorded in most parts of tke
nation during the past yetr
and because there were more
oeoole in jobs, despite the
large number of unemployed,
the government looks for per
sonal tax payments to rB:
the $45 billion mark by Apr!
15.
That will be close to $3 bil
lion more than was collect!
from individuals a year (Bio.
On the basis of tentative
figures released on the earn
ings of Jackson caunty resi
dents in 1962, their current
tax returns are expected to
be nearly $16,110,000, an in
crease of $825,000.
What next year will ttkfz
depends on two big "ifs."
Slate of EcosaMy
One involves the state Of
the economy during the rvt
of 1963. Should it improve te
the degree contemplate tray
the President in his report to
Congress, incomes would rje
and tax receipts would go u
proportionately.
The other "if" concerns tax
reduction. The present opin
ion in Washington Is that
there will be sonJe sort of a
cut - not as largo as wt$ rec
ommended - but that it will
not be effective until 1964.
At any rate, the Kennedy
budget for the corifing fiscal
year calls for personal incme
taxes of $49.3 billion, or $4.3
billion more than this year.
On that basis, if Jackson
county continues carrying its
present share of the nation's
tax burden, its payments next
year will have to be 9.5 per
cent larger than they are now.
