Wallace cuts corn processing tax to five cents a bushel
Secretary Wallace reduced the processing tax on field corn to five cents per bushel effective Sunday, with a 20 cent rate starting December 1. The move follows evidence from a public hearing showing the higher 28 cent tax would not lower consumption but burden stockholders. Floor taxes apply to manufacturers and wholesalers, while retailers have 30 days to dispose of remaining stocks. Exemptions include corn processed for farmer consumption and corn ground for feed. The department also seeks guidance on compensatory taxes on competing products like sugar, tapioca, and vegetable oils.
