Democratic Tax Managers Push Excise Cut Bill
Democratic tax law managers prepare to push a bill in the House to cut excise taxes by about 1.01 billion annually while adding a corporation tax plan to offset the loss. The Ways and Means Committee approved 433 million in new taxes to cover the cuts, with later changes bringing in 465 million more, and the package would set a 21 percent normal corporate tax and a 20 percent surtax on earnings over 25 thousand, effective for taxable years after 1949.
