Ways and Means Ups Taxes on Corporations
The Ways and Means Committee voted to boost annual corporate taxes to 493 million dollars, raising rates on earnings with a tiered plan. President Truman supports targeted cuts on certain levies while backing a larger reform to fund wartime measures. The proposal includes a 20 percent surtax on earnings above 26 thousand dollars and a 41 percent rate on all earnings over that threshold.
