Probably the moHt Important change affecting Individuals is the rate, the exemptions of for single persons and $2,000 for married parson's and 'heads of famines ro maining the same as under the 1917 act. The normal rate of tax under the new act is 6 per cent on the first $4,000 of net Income above the exemptions and 12 per cent on the remaining net income. This applies to every citizen and resident of the United States. Allen non-residents of the United States having property here are taxed on the income from that property to the full 12 per cent of the normal tax.

For 1919 and subsequent years the rates are fixed at 4 and 8 per cent respectively. Under the 1917 act the normal rate was 2 per cent on net income in excess of the exemptions. Under the 1016 act the normal rate was 2 per cent on the net income of single persons in excess of $3,000 and 2 per cent on the net Income of married persons and heads of families in excess of $4,000. The normal rate of tax on incomes in excess of the exemptions provided for by the 1916 act, therefore, was 4 per cent.
