Surtaxes Lowered On Smaller Incomes
The Senate committee proposes a general 80 percent rate on war profits and a reduced tax on excess profits to create a uniform surtax. The revision lowers revenue by under 25 million dollars. Under the plan those earning 100 thousand to 150 thousand would pay 52 percent, and those between 150 thousand and 200 thousand would pay a similar adjusted rate.

Tax Proposals Outline Progressive Rates and Increases
The Senate committee drafts a tax plan with brackets from 56 percent to 65 percent for incomes from $200000 upward. It contrasts with the House rate, showing higher increases for mid to high earners. The amendment also caps war profits tax for small corporations at 85 percent of the amount.
Senator Tax Amendment Aims to Curb Corporate Rates
The amendment would impose a tax structure where net income above 20 000 is taxed at a higher rate and net income over 3 000 gains additional percentage, designed to keep small corporations from hitting an 80 percent limit. Senators said the change prevents excessive taxation on smaller firms.
