Collector Tells New Tax Ruling The revised rates for with holding income tax from wages, provided by the individual income tax act of 1944, apply to all wages paid by an employer to his employees on and after Jan uary 1, 1945, regardless of when the wages are earned, J. W. Ma loney, collector of internal rev enue, explained this week. Under the new law, for ex ample, any wages earned in December, but not paid to the employee until January 1 or later, are subject to the new withholding rates. On the average, about the same amount of tax ¡will be withheld under the new rates as was withheld under the old rates. However, since the rates were revised to adjust each employee’s wihholding more closely to his an nual income tax, in individual cases the withholding may be either more or less than before. Collector Maloney further ex plained that the withholding re ceipt, form W-2 (Rev.), for 1944 to be given by employers to all employees by January 31, 1945, must show all wages ac tually paid during 1944, togeth er with the amount of income tax withheld during the calendar year. If any wages earned in Decem ber are not paid to the employee until January 1, or later, such wages must be included on the 1944 withholding receipt, he said. Inasmuch as practically all wage earners who may use these re ceipts as their 1944 returns file returns on the basis of income received during the year, inclu sion in the receipt of any wages not actually paid in 1944 would result in incorrect returns. □ dollars _J Paperhanging Painting - Signs FRANK HIRSCH Keasey Rt.

Numan Jr. commis sioner of internal revenue, has reminded individual income tax payers that congress has changed from December 15, 1944, to Jan uary 15, 1945, the final date for filling declarations of estimated income tax report. Among the taxpayers affected by this change in dates are: farmers who exercised their right to defer filing declarations last April 15; others who have al ready filed 1944 declarations but desire to change their estimates by filing amended declarations; all persons who owe the final in stallment of 1944 estimated tax.
