Compromise clears tax device with annual revenue report
The Senate rejected a withholding provision but kept an elaborate reporting requirement on firms paying interest and dividends. Treasury will report yearly on the device's effectiveness, estimated to yield $240 million annually in recouped revenue. The conference bill retroactively allows a 7 percent deduction for equipment and machinery costs, utilities at 3 percent, with first year net loss about $1.3 billion and a long term $545 million yearly loss, figures far below Kennedy's $600 million gain.
