House Returns To Roosevelt Tax Plan
Washington The House Ways and Means subcommittee favored Roosevelt corporate tax proposals to raise about 1.137 billion dollars over plan years aimed at balancing the budget. They trimmed treasury income tax ideas and favored a 620 million dollar net tax on undistributed corporate profits with possible exemptions for reserves and a windfall tax on uncollected processing taxes. If these fail, new processing taxes on many commodities may be framed for three years. March 15 tax returns and budget clarifications will shape the bill.
