New War Revenue Bill Proposed in House Amid Debate
Washington Sept 6 The Ways and Means Committee has introduced a broad war revenue tax bill expected to raise about 8.01 billion dollars. It places a 12 percent normal tax on income over exemptions with a 6 percent rate for the first 4000. It also raises surtaxes, duties on excess profits and corporate income tax, and expands state taxes. The measure targets individuals under certain income thresholds and requires many under 21 to file. New rates would apply to corporations and various taxes including freight, express, insurance, gasoline, stamps, and licenses. The bill aims to distribute the burden to those most able to pay, with changes affecting dividends and corporate returns.
