Senate approves war profits taxes amid defense tax push
The Senate rejected administration pleas for a simple revenue bill and passed defense tax measures. It set lower income tax exemptions, raised excises, and imposed an immediate excess profits tax on all corporations expected to raise $400 to $500 million yearly. War profits taxes could reach about $8 billion from individuals, possibly matching from corporations, effective after a war declaration.
