Business Tax Changes Permit Carryovers and Capital Loss Deductions
The plan preserves current corporate rates from 12 12 to 16 percent for small corporations while extending loss carryovers to two years for all taxpayers. It adds a new capital gains formula allowing full offset of capital losses on assets held over 18 months and imposes the deduction in the year the loss occurs. Losses under 18 months offset gains in the same year with carryover potential for a year.

The text explains that corporations may value stocks higher on June 30, 1939 and June 30, 1940 for capital stock and excess profit taxation. Most revisions do not affect taxpayers until they file 1940 taxes in 1941, since the excess tax reenactment takes effect at midnight as the new fiscal year starts.
