Treasury scheme eyed as possible tax bill add on
Treasury officials defended a spending tax plan to aid the war effort, trading a flat 10 percent levy on excess spendings for a forced savings return after the war. Morgenthau urged passage, arguing the plan would raise about 8.7 billion annually, avoid a sales tax, and curb war-time consumer over-spending while countering a looming 40 billion dollar gap between buying power and available goods. The plan features a 0 to 75 percent graduated rate on luxury expenditures and would not tax income directly.
