Mills Proposes Corporations Tax Levy Sooner
Rep Mills of Arkansas proposed speeding up corporate income tax payments to the first six months of the year to help balance the next fiscal year. He argues the change could raise about 4.8 billion dollars and offset a 5.1 billion dollar federal deficit, though he acknowledges it would be discriminatory against individuals paid payroll taxes as earned. The plan, endorsed by committee chair Dough ton, would be a first step toward a pay as you go system for corporations.
