New Tax Bill Moves Toward Senate Action
A $260 million tax bill drafted to Roosevelt guidelines heads to the Senate Finance Committee for immediate action. The measure, largely preserving the president’s plan, excludes early low income levies and targets high incomes, corporate earnings, and large estates with a millionaire income surtax and expanded corporate taxes. The bill departs from the House in estate taxes replacing inheritance duties and includes a 2.25 percent dividend tax. Senate leaders expect quick debate and passage this week.
