"SMALL BUSINESS”
By C. WILSON HARDER
It is perhaps not too early for
self-employed business and
professional people to con
sider how they can best benefit
from the retirement program
enacted by Congress.
* * *
Since 1952,
on voted in
structions
from the na
tion’s inde
pendent bus
inessmen, the
National Fed
eration of In
dependent
Business
worked for
t h e passage c. W. Harder
of such a measure.
* * *
While the legislation, spon
sored by Rep. Eugene Keogh
does not meet exactly the wish
es of the independent business
and professional man, in view
of the strong administration op
position to any measure of this
type based on the protests oi
U. S. Treasury Dept, it is
considered a step forward.
* * *
For one thing it is now rec
ognized that the needs of the
independent entrepeneur are
equally as valid of considera
tion as those of corporation ex
ecutives, or union members
under a welfare program.
* * *
Briefly, in 1963, the self-em
ployed can put aside 10% of
his yearly income, up to a
maximum of $2,500 into a pri
vate retirement program.There
is no compulsion to lay aside
the maximum permissible un
der the law. Any lesser amount
can be set aside. Half of what
ever is put aside is tax free.
* * *
The interest and earnings
of money set aside is also tax
free provided withdrawals are
not made on the fund before
(6) National Federation of Independent Bmlneai
reaching: the age of 59!4 years.
If funds are withdrawn before
reaching this age, the tax free
part of the fund will be as
sessed for taxes. *
* * *
But if the fund is left until
retirement age, it can be
drawn on with tax paid only
on that part which was tax free
when paid in.
* * *
There are many decisions to
be made by the first of the year
by those wishing to take advan
tage of the benefits.
a a a
During the battle to get the
law through, a “joker" was
slipped in by the socialistic
element that makes it neces
sary for the business or profes
sional man, wishing to set up
his own retirement program,
to also set up and pay for a
retirement program for full
time employees with three or
more years of service,
a a a
A full time employee is one
who works 20 hours or more
per week, or for five or more
months in a year. Thus, there
will be undoubtedly a great
deal of study to determine if
employment of full time help
can be reduced, or eliminated,
a a a
Retirement plans can be
worked out with banks, insur
ance companies, and in a num
ber of other ways.
a a a
Hawever, the Treasury Dept,
is still somewhat vague as how
it will define the wishes of
Congress. It will be well for
everyone contemplating such
a plan to seek counsel from
accountants and tax attorneys,
as the Treasury will have to
approve any plan set up. And in
view of the Treasury having
fought, the measure, it can be
anticipated every possible dif
ficulty will be raised.
RALLY OFFERS PACKAGE DEAL
A buffet dinner, entertain
ment after dinner, a chance at
the door prize (a Machetanz
drawing), and a six-months’
membership in the Matanuska
Valley Theatre Guild is a pack
age deal offered by the Guild
for the purchase of one ticket
to the Theatre Guild Rally to
be held Friday, March 8, Bar
bara Hamilton, chairman, an
nounced this week.
Joyce Kerttula is in charge
of food preparation, Jack Riley
is chairman of the entertain
ment committee, and Blanche
Hunt is ticket chairman.
Have faith in your ability if
you expect to reach the goal.
In bringing electricity to rural areas, a quar
ter century ago, Rural Electric Systems
harnessed the cooperative spirit of rural people.
Now, almost 98 percent of rural America enjoys
low-cost electricity—and members of America’s
electric co-ops create a billion dollar market
yearly for goods and services because of it!
Today, we face the problems of under-em
ployment and economic distress in many areas.
There is the need to revitalize many communi
ties—to renew our vigor and dedication to the
task of making these communities come alive
and prosper ... to make them attractive to
our young people, and to newcomers ... to
create job opportunities . . . build for a better
life . . .
By cooperation and hard work we helped
bring light to the dark areas, many years ago.
With continuing cooperation, understanding,
and by working together—city and country
folks alike—we can meet the challenge of area
re-development! . . .
