Federal Taxes

“More than 25,000 Georgia em
ployers can save federal taxes
by submitting their payroll ex
’ cise tax payments and reports to
■ the Employment Security Agency
iof the Georgia Department of
■ Labor by midnight, January 31,”
’ | Commissioner of Labor Ben T.
■Huiet reported this week.
By timely payment and reports
to the Georgia Agency, these em
ployers receive full 2.7 percent
federal credit on the 3 percent
payroll excise tax.
The federal law, effective Janu
ary 1, 1956. extended job insur
ance coverage to firms which em
ploy four or more workers. Prior
to that date, coverage was con
fined to employers of eight, or
more. The change in the federal
law has swelled the number of
covered employers in Georgia by
86.5 percent (10,447); expansion
and new business accounts for
1845 (13.5 percent): the total in
crease in covered firms is from
13.642 on January 1, 1956, to
25.934 on January 1 of this year.
"More and more Georgia em
ployers are protecting their in
terests and saving money for re
serves and expansion by malting
their reports and payments
promptly.
“Newly covered employer; with
stable employment records can
look forward to a reduction in
their payroll excise tax after
eighteen months under the ex- ।
perience-rating provisions of the
I Georgia law. Since 1942 employ- I
| ers of eight or more have saved
for themselves over $200,000,- i
000.00 in this manner which ।
otherwise would have gone into >
the federal treasury,” Huiet con
cluded.

And now let me quote — This
one is on conscience and goes
like this — “A good conscience
is the palace of Christ; the tem
ple of the Holy Ghost; the para
dise of delight; the standing Sab
bath of the saints.” And still
another says “Fear is the tax
the conscience pays to guilt.”
■ Since we are all so heavily tax
ed at the present we might try
t not having a guilty conscience.
. And now here I go snooping a
round on your Salem friends
for another week — and it won’t
give me a guilty conscience
either, for my snooping will be
done in a spirit of love; love to
let you readers know just how
we out here in the west corner
of Newton County are getting
along.
