Tax changes for relief of business outlined by Roosevelt aides
New York December 10 1942 A program of major alterations to capital gains and undistributed profits taxes has been outlined by administration allies. The plan, to be considered in the January session, would not affect 1937 and aims to compromise administration and business critics. It proposes exempting 25 to 30 percent of undistributed earnings from tax and varying capital gains exemptions up to 70 percent after one year. If securities are sold within a year, the current capital gains tax rules would guide the impact.
