Londoner Tells of Games
Prepare Now for Tax
LOS ANGELES-Millions of individuals
will be call ed upon early next year to pay
income taxes for th e first time. Present
taxpayers may find their taxes two to fou r
times the amount they paid this year. Few
people appreciate how heavy a tax b urden
has been placed upon the average family
budget.
The new war-time rates recently enacted
At
by Congress apply to all of 1942.
least 19c out of every dollar of taxable in-
co me received this year will be taken by
normal and surtaxes. Surtaxes rise steeply
as income increases. Generally speaking,
taxable income is all income over the $500
exemption allowed single persons, or the
$1,200 exemption of married couples and
h eads of families, plus certain deductions
and a credit of $350 for each dependent.
Beginning January 1st, an additional
"Victory tax" of 5 percent will go into
effect. Wage and salary earners will have
it deducted from their pay checks. It ap-
plies to all in come o"er $624 a year plus
certain specified deductions. Part of the
Victory tax is to be returned after the
war, unless the taxpayer chooses to use this
post-war credit currently in the purchase of
government bonds, paymen ts of life insur-
ance premiums, or retiring indebtedness.
With taxes of this magnitude and com-
plexity, it is impera tive that individuals
keep records which will enable them to
prepare returns and take adva ntage' of all
deductions and credits permitted by law.
For example, und er a new amendmen t, it
is possible to deduct state sales taxes and
probably gasoline taxes. Again, medical
·expenses in excess of 5 percent of net in-
come are deductible up to a fixed amount.
All existin g deductions for contributions,
interest payments, etc., co ntinue in effect.
Inability, however, of the taxpayer to pro-
duce records supporti ng claims for deduc-
tions may result in heavy taxes which oth-
erwise would not be due.
The accompanying table indicates the
approximate taxes payable on incomes of
various sizes for this year.
CHICAGO.-The practicability of keep-
ing marble table equipment in good condi-
tion for th e duration of the war is strongly
poi nted out in a communication received
by the Uili ted Manufacturing Co. from the
Scott Supply Co., London, in mid-October.
Wrote Dick Scott: "The market in Amer-
ica will, no doubt, have a similar expe·
rience fo what we had over here on the
outbreak of war-no body knew what the
valu e of machines was likely to be and
th ere was rather a slum p in prices, but
since th at time all machines have rapidly
in creased in price and the demand far ex-
ceeds the supply. This is th e natural result
of th e fact tha t no new machin es can be
imported, and of course, we cannot make
any here owing to the restrictions on ma-
terials. You will do doubt remember the
old Chief machin e. At one time we were
doing our best to get rid of them brand
new at £ 12.10.0 an d now they are fetch-
ing £ 30! If I were in business in America
I should certainly but all the used equip-
ment I could get hold of as I feel sure
th at this will double itself in value in a
very short time."
United poi nts out th at many opera tors
a re heeding th e words of wisdom contain ed
in the above comm uni cation and am pur-
ch asin g used equi pment and having it reo
furbished for future operating. United is
enjoying a brisk business and servin g op-
erators, jobbers and distributors in all parts
of the country with refurbished ga mes that
are equal in every respect to brand new fac-
tory-build equ ipment.

LOS ANGELES. -Details of the new
F ederal tax on cigarettes and cigars which
went into effect on Novemb er 1, 1942, are
related herewith by Collector of Internal
Revenu e Nat Rogan. Every dealer in cigar-
ettes or cigars should have taken an inven-
tory at th e close of busin ess on October
31, 1942, of all cigarettes or cigars on hand.
A floor tax is imposed on the dealer in ac-
cordance with the amount of stock set
forth in th e inventory.
Small cigarettes, the usual commercial
packages, are now taxed at $3.50 per thou-
sand as against the old rate of $3.25 per
thousand. Thus, each package of twenty
cigarettes calls for an additional tax of one-
half cent and each package of ten ci garettes
for an additional tax of one-quarter cent.
Large cigarettes which can be cut into
small er ones have an additional tax of six-
ty cents per thousand imposed upon them.
The new tax on large cigars, which
means all ci gars weighin g three pounds or
more per thousand, varies according to the
sales price. The incr eases are as follows :
Sales price not more than 2Y2 c each, in-
crease SOc per thousand.
Sales price more than 2Y2 c but not more
than 4c increase $1.00 per thousand.
Sales price more than 4c but not more
than 5c each increase $2.00 per thousand.
Sales price more th an 5c but not more
than 6c each in crease $1.00 per thousand.
Sales pri ce more than 6c but not more
than 8c each increase $4.00 per thousand.
Sales price more than 8c but not more
than 15c each increase $5.00 per thousand.
Sales price more tha n 15c but not more
than 20c each increase $4.50 per thousand.
Sales price more than 20c each increase
$6.50 per thousand.

INCOME TAX DEDUCTION FOR
CALIFORNIA SALES TAX
The new federal revenue act provides
that on future income tax returns de~
duction can be claimed by individuals
for state sales taxes paid on goods pur-
chased at retail, where the tax has
been stated separately by the seller.
This provision allows the person bear·
ing the burden of the tax to deduct it
even though, technically. he is not the
'"taxpayerH in states such as California
where the state law imposes the tax
on the seller.
For every dollar of deduction you
will save not less than 19 cents when
computing your next income tax return.
The importance of keeping records to
substantiate deduction claims is strong-
ly emphasized. CLIP nns TIP and
take it home to your wife.
The tax returns must be fil ed on or b e-
fore December 31, 1942, and must be ac-
companied by a remittance of the tax. The
tax return must be fil ed in dupli cate. Deal-
ers and manufacturers should apply as soon
as possible to the Coll ector of Internal
Revenue for th eir tax form s. The required
inventory must be made in duplicate, one
copy must be fil ed with th e tax return.
Owners and lessors of cigarette vend-
ing machines must prepare inventories
and file returns. Lessees of machines
are not required to do so. Retail estab-
lishments which own and operate cig-
arette machines are required to file
their own returns. All operators of
more than one place of business or of
cigarette machines in more than one
location need file only one tax return
but their inventories must disclose the
number of cigarettes or cigars on hand
at each specified location.
