Early Cut in Capital Gains Tax Foreseen
Treasury favors reducing the capital gains tax from 12 1 2 to 10 percent but says the current revenue situation allows no immediate action. Under-Secretary Mills said the rate is high and a revision could come when finances permit without risking deflation, with broader income tax reform also eyed. He noted capital gains raised about 2 million in 1929 over 1928, and disputed the view that this tax caused the stock market decline.
