Rush Work On Tax Revision
Washington June 13 After voting to repeal the undistributed profits levy a house sub committee worked against time today to complete its draft of business tax legislation. Chairman Cooper Tennessee noted speed is needed for reenactment of excise taxes expiring June 30. He hopes to have the bill ready for house debate next week. The plan would raise federal revenue but Roosevelt seeks no large revenue cut. The outline includes a flat 18 percent tax for large net income firms, continuation of 12- to 16 percent rates for smaller businesses, loss carryovers, repeal of a cap on deductions, and stock value increase rights for two years. Renewal of expiring nuisance taxes on cigars, liquor, beer and amusement was tentatively discussed.
