Corporation Tax Continuance Voted by Group
The House Ways and Means Committee voted 22 to 2 to extend the present corporation income tax for one year, wiping out a scheduled $2 billion reduction due April 1. Only Reps Mills of Arkansas and Gregory of Kentucky opposed. The committee will fold the rate into a broad tax overhaul bill and also consider excise tax rates. If enacted, revenues would fall about $1.3 billion in the first year due to broader deductions.
