Tax measure outlines wide corporate income tax plan
President Roosevelt backs a broad revenue package totaling 623 million in new permanent revenue. The compromise would tax corporate income at a flat 18 percent, levy 7 percent on undistributed corporate income, tax dividends at the individual rate, and raise the normal rate from 4 to 5 percent. The plan would repeal 12 1/2 to 15 percent corporate tax and move toward higher rates up to 42 1/2 percent based on earnings withheld. Harrison said no agreement yet, with changes possible on processing taxes and refunds on floor stocks.
