Tax Bill Edges Through Senate Fight Over Rates and Exemptions
The Senate advances a tax bill shaping corporation rates with normal 24 percent on large firms and minor changes for small businesses, adds a 10 percent excess profits rate, and removes a separate 10 percent levy. It would raise revenue by about $1.15 billion from income taxes, reduce exemptions, and require 22.1 million filers with 13.2 million taxable. Senate leaders delay community property provisions, and conferees will be named after Sept. 15 as Democrats and Republicans on Ways and Means prepare compromise. A push against the 5 dollar auto-use tax fails, with La Follette branding the bill unfair to the poor and vowing future opposition. An jewelry tax amendment passes. a fats and oils tariff rise is rejected, and gambling tax cut is tabled.
