Senate group debates corporate tax compromise details
A Senate committee discussed a proposed corporate tax plan noting it offered no special relief for debt troubled firms and would tax tax money redirected to the treasury. The debate showed early signs the compromise could be reopened during ongoing negotiations.
Compromise on corporate income tax falls short of Roosevelt goal
The measure halves the proposed rate on undistributed net income to 7 percent and adds an 18 percent tax on net corporate income. Dividends would be taxed ordinarily, and firms with net incomes up to 20 000 dollars receive a 1000 dollar exemption. The plan, supported 18 to 1 with Senator Couzens dissenting, is projected to yield over 500 million dollars, still below Roosevelt's target of 623 million.
