Banks oppose higher taxes on savings and deposits
Henry Parkman of Provident Institution for Savings and Philip Stockton of City Trust Company testified before a Legislature committee on tax reform. They argued savings banks already pay a 0.5 percent tax and that rates fail to track lower interest yields. Stockton supported stock tax but warned deposit taxation could complicate savings banks and force remittances in trust companies, risking state revenue.
