Super Tax Proposals Weighed by Congress in 1950s
Washington lawmakers weighed a super tax on war era incomes and excess profits by corporations. The Senate Finance Committee ordered studies on a national sales tax and a national transactions levy to tax goods, services, and each transaction. Chairman George urged limiting levies to nonessential goods to curb spending. A push to add an excess profits tax to the President Truman plan was discussed, with potential January 1, 1951 effective date and possible extension to individuals and partnerships. Senator Hoey said such action appears likely next year.
