First Figures On Taxes Revenue Bill Imposes
The new Revenue bill, adopted by the house and likely to pass the senate, taxes corporations harder than prior bills. Public service outfits would pay $2,058,000 more annually, total corporate taxes rise $4,394,000, but a school funding appropriation yields a $3,230,000 net property tax cut. Overall net corporate tax rise nears $1,965,000 yearly despite lower sales tax potential. The bill contrasts with earlier sales tax plans that would cut corporate taxes by about $4,500,000, leaving the power and rail outfits seeking any tax that reduces their burden.
