Gambler, Speculator
Gets British Tax Break
WASHINGTON (AP)-The Brit-I
ish income tax, by American
standards, hits , hard at 'the man
in the street but gives a big break
to the Investor, the speculator and
the gambler.
Even after the tax cut an
nounced last Tuesday, the aver
age Englishman will pay consid
erably more than his American
cousin.
The investor or speculator, how
ever, will retain complete freedom
from taxes on profits made in the
stock market or through real es
tate deals. And the gambler will
continue to pay no tax on his
winnings. . ,
Morever, most Englishmen
who collect dividends on stocks
will as in t h e past pay little or
no tax on these.
Dividends, capital gains and
gambling winnings are, of course,
taxed in the United States.
Why haven't the British tapped
these revenue sources? -
In the case of dividends, the
English take the position that a
corporation by paying income
and profits taxes in effect pays
a dividend tax on behalf of its
shareholders. To tax shareholders
directly, they believe, would be
unfair double taxation.
Many- American stockholders
take the same view and have agi
tated persistently, but without
mucn success, lor a similar con
cession. .
As for capital gains and gam
bling winnings, these were not
classed as taxable income under
British tax law. The Labor party
has long demanded they be taxed
but hasn t mustered the votes to
do so.
The New British tax change,
which will go into effect at mid
year, will lower the standard in
come tax rate to 38. per cent
from 42'i per cent. Here's how
the standard rate system works
While an American taxpayer
claims exemptions and deductions
to lower his taxable income, the
Englishman claims "reliefs" from
the standard rate. He gets one
relief of $336 for himself and a
second for the same amount if
he's married. He also can claim
a relief of $238 for each of his
dependents and can deduct mod
est amounts for insurance pre
miums he pays. - -
On the first $1,008 of income, he
is taxed at rates far below the
standard levy.
Take the case of a married man
with two children who is paid
$5,600 a year. An American who
claims the standard deduction will
pay an income tax of about $528.
An Englishman m the same sit
uation will pay about $853 under
the new rate. The cut will save
him about $43. -
Incidentally, $5,600 - is pretty
good pay in England. A school
teacher or pharmacist, for exam
ple, might make about $2,000.
Now let's give these married
men a pay raise, to $9,020 a year.
The American will then pay about
$1,398 m taxes while the British
er will pay $3,428. Under the old
British rate, the tax would have
been about $182 Jiigher.
For another - example, take a
single man with no dependents
who is paid $2,800 a year. In (he
United States, he would pay Uncle
bam about $384. If he's English,
the crown will get about $51$ un
der the new rate about $23 less
than before.
British income taxes are mark
edly higher than U.S. levels at
what an American would consider
middle income levels. They also
hit harder at married couples be
cause. In England, you can't claim
the tax-cutting advantage of split
ting incomes on a joint return.
The British also have sales taxes

omparable to U.S. excise taxes
but these are much higher than
here. The tax on a new auto, for
example, is 60 per cent compared
with 10 per cent ir. the United
Stater ,
Britain, is lowering the sales tax
on all luxuries except autos to 50
per cent from 60 per cent. Cam
eras, radios and jewelry are in-
eluded m this category. In the
United Mates, they carry, an ex
cise tax of 10 per cent.
Incidentally, the British pay a
national gasoline tax of 35 cents
a gallon compared with 3 cents
here.
The British tax cuts drew this
barb Friday from Sen. Allen J.
Ellender (D-La) during hearings
by the Senate Appropriations Com
mittee on a request by President
Eisenhower for 225 million dollars
for loans to underdeveloped coun
tries abroad:
'It makes me wonder why the
American taxpayers don't march
on Washington. We give lavishly
to these people and they cut their
taxes and balance their budgets."
He added the United States will
have a deficit of close to 13 bil
lion dollars this fiscal year.
Great Britain owes the United
States more than 4b billion dol
lars on loans made in previous
years.
The State DepartmenUsaid this
week Great Britain Is not now re
ceiving any economic help from
the United States. As is true with
other U.S. allies in Europe and
elsewhere, she is getting military
assistance in undisclosed amounts,
