The Senate Finance Committee projects a shrinkage of over 1 billion in income and excess profits taxes this fiscal year while revising the House bill to raise 3.324 billion in 12 months ending June 30. The majority report notes estimated income and profits taxes at 1.88 billion for the year, far below last June’s 3.000 billion. The panel deems the 3.824 billion total proposed by revisions only 52 million above treasury estimates and highlights repeal of the excess profits tax as a key revenue measure amid a weak business climate.
