Federal Levy to Be Swelled
Washington reports the House Ways and Means Committee advanced new excise tax plans after defeating sales tax proposals. Aiming to boost wartime revenue, the panel discussed a possible flat monthly levy and a 10 percent withholding on pay, while soft drink tax estimates were placed at 146 million annually. The committee, seeking to finish by Wednesday, may still fall short of the Treasury’s 8.7 billion target. It also weighed a general relief provision for growth companies affected by higher corporate rates. A Saturday sales tax review was rejected 13 to 8. Exemptions are computed by dividing annual exemptions by 52 for weekly withholding.
