Current Tax Payment Act of 1943

126 (June 9, 1943), re-introduced the requirement to withhold income tax in the United States.

The Current Tax Payment Act compelled employers to withhold federal income taxes from workers' paychecks and pay them directly to the government on the workers' behalf.

At the time of the act, Social Security payments and a World War II Victory Tax were already being withheld.

Following the introduction of the act, the figure rose to above 11%, with the new law expected to raise $7.6 billion.
