                the case of a lower rate of tax applicable with respect

                sentence, the term `compensating use tax' means, with 
                respect to any item, a tax which--

        supplemental wage payment, when added to all such payments 
        previously made by the employer to the employee during the

        to such excess shall be equal to the maximum rate of tax in 
        effect under section 1 of such Code for taxable years beginning
