Income tax plan sparks cross party criticism in Britain
London April 21 The Chancellor Neville Chamberlain unveiled a 1937-38 budget totaling 4.3155 billion dollars to fund a five year rearmament program. A new prosperity tax would take up to one third of a business man’s profits while the income tax would rise 1.25 percent to 25. Exemptions remain at 625 dollars for singles and 2,000 dollars for married men with three children. Labor supporters criticized it as a step toward war budgets and conservative critics feared the precedent of a higher profits tax.
