President Signs War Tax Measure with Oct. 1 Set
The $4.7 billion war tax bill becomes law after President Trumeau’s signature. It raises individual and corporate taxes, with a one fifth salary tax boost starting next week and withholding tables issued to employers. Corporations see rates rise from 38 to 45 percent retroactive to July 1. The plan includes looser exemptions for Korea fighting and incentives to retool industry for war materials. A second instalment tax boost is planned to target excess profits, potentially lifting total taxes by about $12 billion annually. The 1951 tax load could top $50 billion, a record.
