Excise Taxes Extension Clears House Panel For One Year
The House Ways and Means Committee voted 22-3 to extend 33.6 billion dollars in excise taxes on passenger tickets, telephone service, alcohol, tobacco, and other goods for one year. The bill moves to the House with July 1 as the action deadline. The extension preserves current rates, including the 52 percent corporate income tax, amid a party line debate over the 10 percent passenger transportation tax and a failed repeal effort.
