Tax Revision Plans Move Forward in House Ways and Means
Washington July 25 plans for a new tax law gain momentum as the Ways and Means Committee prepares to begin revising revenue laws. President Harding hears details from Chairman Fordney while discussions consider a 15 percent corporate tax with a $2,000 exemption abolished and possibly a stamp tax on postages or checks. The panel aims to raise about 4 billion dollars annually, with Mellon reportedly opposed to a sales tax and favoring a corporate levy. The opening session will cover most aspects of the revision.
