Washington. — Sugar prices were
frozen by the government Saturday
at current levels.
The Office of Price Administra-
tion placed temporary ' :v rgency
ceilings on primary and wholesale
prices of all forms of refined and
other direct consumption sugar
which it said should remove any
reason for higher retail sugar prices.
Announcing the order, Price Ad-
ministrator Leon Henderson declar-
ed: “The OP A has removed all
possibility that retail outlets will be
forced to pay more for their supplies
of sugar.
"Hence, there is no reason for
American housewives to pay any
higher prices for this fundamental
foodstuffs than they did before the
attack on Pearl Harbor Dec. 7.”
INCOME TAX LAW!
The Revenue Act of 1941 provides
a simplified method of computing
income tax in the case of individuals
whose gross income is derived whol-
ly from salary, wages or other com-
pensation for personal services, divi-
dends, interest, rent, annuities, or
royalties, and does not exceed $3,000.
A new Form 1040A has been pro-
vided for taxpayers who are entitled
to and elect to use such method. A
table on the reverse side of this Form
shows the amount of tax on increas-
ing amounts of gross income after
the proper allowance of $400 for
each dependent, if any.
The tax under the simplified
method is the same for each $25.00
block of gross income and the tax-
payer need only ascertain in which
block his gross income (less allow-
ance for dependents) falls to deter-
mine his tax. A flat reduction of 10
per cent has been made in arriving
at the amount of tax shown in the
table for deductions such as chari-
table contributions and taxes paid-,
so that the taxpayer who uses this
method does not list these but gets
an automatic deduction of 10 per
cent.
Under the simplified method the
status of a person on the last day of
the taxable year is the governing
factor in determining the exemption
level $750 for single persons and
married persons not living with hus-
band or wife, and $1,500 for married
persons living together) as well as
the credit for dependents.
A husband and wife living toge-
ther on the last day of the taxable
year may file separate returns on
Form 1040A if the gross income of
each is from the prescribed sources
from the prescribed sources and does
riot exceed $3,000.
The use of the simplified method
is optional with the taxpayer but
once an election has been made for
any year, it is irrevocable for that
year. If a taxpayer files a return
under the simplified method for the
taxable year he may not thereafter
file a return under the general pro-
visions of the law for that year. Con-
versely, if he files a return under the
general provisions for any taxable
year, he may not thereafter file a re-
turn under the simplified method for
that year. However, a new election
is allowed for each succeeding tax-
able year.
