Compromise Proposed To Lighten Corporate Excess Tax
A special session tax plan may include a compromise to tax corporate excess at about a $3 million revenue level. The change would remove the average rate nuisance for corporate excess while preserving the rate basis for railroad primary school land taxes. Inheritance tax adjustments could add about $1.5 million to the general fund, with interurban rails matching, leaving roughly $3,000,000 to be raised via corporate excess.
