Coolidge Pushes for Future Tax Law Revisions
President Coolidge signed the new federal tax reduction bill amid plans to push for a more economic measure next session. The law lowers revenues by an estimated 361 million dollars for 1925 and cuts rates to the lowest since 1917, with immediate relief through a 25 percent cut for the current year and excise tax repeals on telegraphs, soft drinks, candy, and theater admissions. Refunds of 25 percent retroactive reductions will be issued for those who paid 1923 income taxes in full, pending appropriation.
